A toro embolado (in Spanish), bou embolat (in Catalan), roughly meaning 'bull with balls', is a festive activity, typical of many towns in Spain (mainly in the Valencian community and Southern Catalonia), in which a bull that has burning balls of flammable material attached to its horns is set free in the streets at night, and participants dodge the bull when it comes close. It can be considered a variant of an encierro (correbous in Catalan). This activity is held in a number of Spanish towns during their local festivals. In the 21st century animal welfare activists have attempted to stop this practice as cruel.

| - El bou embolat és un festeig tradicional al País Valencià i Catalunya (sobretot a Amposta) i també a la província de Terol en el qual, de nit, es provoca un bou col·locant dues boles de quitrà encès a les banyes d'un bou. Així, l'animal es torna neguitós; el joc consisteix a evitar les envestides de l'animal. No se'n coneixen realment els orígens, però —juntament amb altres celebracions taurines en les quals no es mata l'animal— podria tenir l'origen en la civilització minoica. Existeix un festeig similar, a l'Aragó, anomenat Toro de Ronda, encara que en aquest cas s'acaba matant l'animal. (ca)
- El toro embolado o toro de fuego es un festejo tradicional que se celebra en España y que se encuentra relacionado con la tauromaquia. En esta celebración, un toro de lidia corre por la trama urbana de una determinada localidad portando sobre sus astas o cuernos un herraje, sobre los cuales se colocan estopas engrasadas a las que se les prende fuego. (es)
- Il toro embolado è uno spettacolo popolare di tauromachia ancora in uso in due regioni della Spagna, precisamente in Catalogna e nella Comunità Valenzana, e può essere considerata una versione popolaresca e "minore" della più famosa corrida de toros. (it)

It can be considered a variant of an encierro (correbous in Catalan). This activity is held in a number of Spanish towns during their local festivals. In the 21st century animal welfare activists have attempted to stop this practice as cruel. The animal is usually tied to a post and then teams of people prevent it from moving while a wooden frame with two spikes with balls of flammable material is attached to its horns. These are then set alight and the rope is cut. Sometimes fireworks are attached too, which then go off shortly afterwards. There is usually a barricade separating the bull from the spectators. A somewhat similar activity is the toro de fuego, in which the live bull is replaced by a bull-shaped metal frame (held by a runner) which is set alight. Vejer de la Frontera has held the yearly El Toro Embolao on Easter Sunday since 1976, where two bulls are let loose in the city. In 2019 a 74-year-old man was gored to death. (en)
