Although bullfighting on foot was strictly forbidden during the Middle Ages, popular games and tussles with bulls continued to be practised in small towns and remote villages. The re-conquest of Spain from Muslim rule and the re-population of new cities with more permissive legislation led to the re-appearance of bullfighting fairs in many places. Following the development of urban life during the Renaissance, the art of bullfighting began to be practised in the main cities.
