Revellers chase a bull into the sea during the [Bous a la Mar] festival on July 14, 2011 in Denia, Spain. The Spanish [Bous a la Mar] or [Bulls to the Sea] festival is held in honour of the Santisima Sangre and commemorate a monk named Pedro Esteve, who, as the legend has it, saved the coastal town of Denia from a plague in 1633. The bulls chased into the sea are later brought back to land by small boats. (Photo by Jasper Juinen/Getty Images)
