THIS is the shocking moment a traditional festival in southern Spain ended in tragedy after a woman was gored to death by a raging bull.
Chilling footage shared on social media shows onlookers watching in shock as the animal charged the 64-year-old during a bull run in Ayna, a small town in the Albacete province of Castilla-La Mancha.
The incident took place just before 11am on Saturday morning during the town’s patron saint festivities.
It appears the woman became trapped on the street after straying beyond the protective barriers lined up to protect locals.

The woman, wearing a bright-red backpack, then attempted to escape back down the road but caught the attention of one bull, who charged and rammed her into a wall.
The victim received emergency medical treatment at the scene but died while being transferred to a helipad.
A second person was injured in the arm at a different point along the route but is not believed to be in a serious condition.
According to local mayor Juan Angel Martinez, the victim was from Catalunya and visiting the area with family members.
All festive events scheduled for the weekend have been suspended as a mark of respect.
