Pictures hanging on the walls of many houses around the world illustrate a bullfighter's skills. Bullfighting fascinates people all over the world. But most have never seen a bullfight. To like? We take you to an arena in Barcelona, Spain, Plaza de Toros Monumental.
As you approach, you notice an atmosphere of excitement and excitement. People surround the entrance to the Moorish building with an open roof. Individuals pay tickets for $ 9 and $ 18. But regardless of price, there is a good amount.
When you enter the square, you see a group of musicians playing double paso in the bleachers on the left, music that is always associated with the arenas. To the right and above is the president's box, usually a local dignitary leading the fight and delivering the prizes. There's also a section called Toriles where six purebred cops are waiting. You have been prepared and educated for at least four years. At this time, each bull weighed 500 kilos.
To the left, three bullfighters (bullfighters) are waiting with their respective cuadrilles or troops of assistants, some on horseback and others on foot. Before the end of the day, these three killers will take care of the six police officers, two each.
"La Corrida de Toros" (bullfighting) begins
The arena is free, except for the oldest of the three bullfighters. The fence is open and a magnificent black bull comes out. The half ton of oscillating muscles go around the ring with its head high, as if someone dares to go down and face it. He does not have to wait long. When the bullfighter watches, his assistants begin testing the bull with coats.
Now the bullfighter takes the middle of the arena and makes some first passes with a condom or loose coat and moves slowly away from the bull when he attacks. When the bullfighter feels particularly safe, he can put the coat in the knee position, which causes the bull to walk continuously through the coat flower. The audience responds with a big shout of approval: “Ole! . . . Ole! But now a horn is heard.
This marks the end of Cabo's work and the beginning of the poles or the representation of the horse chopper. With the spear in hand, the meat grinder chooses a place on the outer edge of the arena to attract and attack the bull. The bull suddenly sees the much larger target. He goes forward to hit the horse's right side. While the bull digs its horns into the armor of the blindfold that the horse makes, the horse and rider are repulsed by the shock. The horse tries to maintain balance, and at the same time the meat grinder pushes its spear into the bull's shoulder and lowers itself with all its weight, cuts off some of the bull's muscles and tendons, and the mighty animal carries its head further down, for work The bullfighter's back with a crutch smaller screen) is required. The bull pulls back briefly and then strikes again, only to feel that the spear is pulled back on the shoulders and undermines more strength and speed.
Now it's time for Banderilleros. Your task is to knit 30-inch rods with sharp harpoon beards called banderillas on the bull's shoulders. At a distance of one or 20 meters, the banderillero catches the bull's attention by shouting. He then runs towards the bull with a banderilla in each hand. At the crucial moment, he stands up and pushes the posts against the bull with outstretched arms. This process can be repeated up to four times and can also be done on horseback.
Now the bull has lost much of its strength. Blood flows from his shoulder injuries down into his body. The whole body stands up with great effort and fatigue. The horn sounds again and introduces the part of the bullfight where the animal meets its death.
Move to kill
Before the bullfighter starts killing, he can lift the bullfighter's hat and dedicate the bull to someone in the audience, perhaps a celebrity or even the entire audience. Then walk towards the animal with your open crutch or small bait. He uses it to provoke the bull's attack. Even though the police are exhausted, he accepts the challenge and the accusation. but not because the fabric is red (cattle are color blind). He is attracted by the movement of the fabric.
Torero takes the bull through several passes each time he tries to get close, but keeps a watchful eye for the dangerous horns. The collar is so close that the bullfighter almost loses his balance. When he turns around to meet the bull, his costume is stained with the bull's blood.
Bullfighter prepares to kill with the bat or the specially designed sword. The bull and the torero meet for the last time. Exhausted and bleeding, he was breathing heavily and had six thorny stems hanging from his shoulders. The other, feet together, sword ready, intention.
In order to kill properly and properly, the sword must first descend between the shoulder blades to the splint, severing an artery or vital organ. But it rarely happens the first time. Two attempts are needed at this point. When it's finally done, the bull sits down for a moment, leans heavily, saliva and blood pouring out of its mouth. Then he cools down, dead, just to make sure a helper arrives and uses a special dagger to cut the spinal cord just behind the horns.
Nice one
