The bulls are moved from the ranch to the bullring in special crates or trucks designed to prevent the animals from being injured during the trip. They are held in a corral at the bullring until the morning of the fight when they are moved to small, separate pens under the stand waiting for the fight. When the bull is needed the gate to the pen is opened and the bull charges outside into the ring.
In some older cities, especially in Spain, bulls may be held in corrals outside the city and then either driven or forced to run to the bullring through barricaded streets. Pamplona is an example.
