Twice a week, fifty cows are brought down from their grassy, mountainous pasture to the matadero to in turn feed the small population of Malaga.

On a Thursday morning in Malaga, Colombia, if one is not prompt, the market will disappear as though it was never there at all. The cover of great smells and flavors is gone and you suddenly find yourself not standing in the dreamy view of smiling merchants, but in the reality of the Malaga matadero. The local slaughterhouse is up and running.

The moment death reaches your eyes, you want to turn your head away. It is difficult to see the bright crimson blood against the stark white walls.
