"Tourada" (English: Bullfight) was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, performed in Portuguese by Fernando Tordo.
The song features the metaphor of a bullfight, comparing it either with the autocratic regime in Portugal at the time or with the culture of materialism
The song was performed third on the night (following Belgium's Nicole & Hugo with Baby, Baby and preceding Germany's Gitte with Junger Tag). At the close of voting, it had received 80 points, placing 10th in a field of 17.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1974 Contest by Paulo de Carvalho with E Depois Do Adeus.
