Valladolid has the solemnity that it is the capital of Castile.
Where the best Spanish is spoken.
The card brought together a multitude of fans from all corners of Spain in the centenary square.
A minute's silence was observed immediately before the National Anthem was sounded.
Dr.
Antonio Mateo
received a tribute to his career as a surgeon in the Pucela bullring.
His hands have been at the fore in that infirmary for 50 years and, at the head of the team, since 1989. The ovation of his countrymen was clamorous.
In the city that houses the
National Sculpture Museum,
Morante sculpted with mesmerizing slowness the non-repetitive goodness of the afternoon quarter. The Sevillian had previously heated the atmosphere with a superb third of flags. In great contrast to those of the Fandi for not using their physical resources. The first pair was a bit past, the second - taking it short - quoting with a lot of bullfighting was wonderful and, the third, to the change. He provided the public to fine and precisely curdle the bull. The chords of
Suspiros de España
raised the task to a great work. Naturally with extraordinary fit, the assisted
by low genuflexes of indisputable quality
.
He slowly outlined himself and was docked like a bull.
The scarf did not diminish after the award of the first trophy.
He stayed at that, on request, but it didn't matter.
Morante had gifted the city of Valladolid with a new sculptural work for his museum.
He was already willing with the bull that opened the afternoon.
The one that he imbibed in his cape with his rested packaging.
The sound of the
Matilla
bull
already made us distrust
its durability.
Morante, who had seen him, wanted to fight him at will with the cape masterfully.
He couldn't do much more with the awkward and fragile opponent.
El Fandi brought out his trade acquired during so many years fighting so much. He did everything in favor of the second bull that was defined from the start. The man from Granada bullfighting it with rest to the veronica first and for chicuelinas to the step later. Nail up to four pairs of flags, running back with great showmanship.
The last two in the same
stake, the second of them to the violin. The bull put his muzzle forward every time Curro Jiménez hooked him. The bull was coming up during the work of Fandi that entangled it in long rounds on the right python. He always left the crutch in his face but gave him a little time between crutch that he appreciated, especially at the end of the task. He began to ask for the pardon for the complete bull, which did not stop charging from below. The Granada-born man gave everything up and the 'Bitter' class was a torrent of bravery. He finished the task very close to him, on his knees, with great displays. The thrust was forceful and the two ears were indisputable. He tore an ear from the fifth nobleman who, although he turned off too soon, found all the resources of a Fandi who -as always- never tired of pleasing him.
Roca Rey
was practically
unpublished
in the first of his batch, a bull that was not released at any time.
Reservón at the beginning and stopped by exhaustion at the end.
The Peruvian tried with a good attitude.
The sixth demanded to bring him very hooked, if he did not get in on occasions.
It was lackluster, not very grateful to the Peruvian.
The big door for El Fandi, the memory for
Amargado
and the room in the museum for Morante's work.
