The Spanish Bullfight

I sat out only half of the show. The sensation remained disgusting and the mood could not be cured even by a sangria jug: (Impressive people I do not advise to look at the photos presented below. The presentation itself consists of several suicides, each of which is divided into several stages.

When the bull is released into the arena - he is full of strength and fury. Initially, he is teased and tormented by several assistants to the torero with cloaks, which are called the bonnet. In case of danger, they hide behind the fence, where the bull can not spoil.

After playing with the bull, they give way to the picador - a rider on an armored horse with a spade in his hands. The bull is still full of strength and with joy attacks the horse, trying to lift it and lay it on the shoulder blades. At this time, the rider thrusts his peak into him, releasing the first blood.

Next on the scene appear banderillero - pedestrians with short glamorous spears. They continue to exhaust the bull and pierce their banderillas into it.

At this time, the matador himself appears on the stage. This word literally means: "he who kills." First, he devotes his future to the public killing of a wounded bull to someone.

Removes from his head astrakhan panamka and, armed with a sword and a small red cloak (mule), once again begins to play with the bull. His task is to kill the bull with one decisive blow for 10 minutes.

Joyfully poiroval over the corpse of a bull, the matador provides his team of "cleaners". They cling to his horns, tied to a troika of decorated horses and dragged the bull from the field.

In this description, I did not claim to be scientific, but only tried to convey my emotions. Many people like bullfighting - in this I was convinced turning heads in the stadium in a crowd of other viewers - and treat it differently. I respect their opinion, but I myself will hardly go to the bullfight again. Stay Tuned!
