Jeg er nyskjerrig, og prøver å finne ut hvorfor folk går og ser tyrefekting. Som er så gammel at man ikke helt vet hvor det startet. Bare at det tidligere var de fattiges eneste mulighet til berømmelse og litt utkomme.

Nå synger tyrefekting på siste vers flere steder i Spania.

 

Ernest Hemingway skrev et par av sine mest kjente romaner under spansk himmer; "Og solen går sin gang" og "Klokkene ringer for deg".

Han skrev også om tyrefektingen:

"Last is the death of the bull, which is in the hands of the matador who has had charge of the bull since his first attack. Each matador has two bulls in the afternoon. The death of the bull is most formal and can only be brought about in one way, directly from the front by the matador, who must receive the bull in full charge and kill him with a sword thrust between the shoulders just back of the neck and between the horns. Before killing the bull he must first do a series of passes with the muleta, a piece of red cloth about the size of a large napkin. With the muleta, the torero must show his complete mastery of the bull, must make the bull miss him again and again by inches, before he is allowed to kill him. It is in this phase that most of the fatal accidents occur.

 

The word ?toreador? is obsolete Spanish and is never used. The torero is usually called an espada, or swordsman. He must be proficient in all three acts of the fight. In the first he uses the cape and does veronicas and protects the picadors by taking the bull out and away from them when they are spilled to the ground. In the second act he plants the banderillos. In the third act he masters the bull with the muleta and kills him."
