loaded with meaning.
This is
María Dolores Díaz, the mother of the bullfighter

But what is the story really?
It was
1967
when the life of María Dolores changed completely when
she met El Cordobés.
A secret relationship that ended in pregnancy.
It was then that
her parents kicked her out of the house
and the bullfighter did not want to know anything about the baby.
María Dolores had to
take her son out on her own
and with the few resources she had, since they were always repudiated by the right-handed man.
"One day, when I was 11 years old, my mother told me:
'We are going to look for your father'.
That became the reason for my life, I had to find my father.
It was my responsibility in life,
I not only had to find my father, I had to defend my mother's honesty," Díaz explained.

Despite the harshness of the situation, María Dolores has never abandoned her truth, a truth that, 54 years later, has come true.
"The moment he hugs me, he feels good for doing it. At that moment, there were two important things that could not be eclipsed, which was
my father's happiness and my mother's truth,"
he confessed. bullfighter.
And it is that, although María Dolores never hid the identity of her father from her son, the truth is that she did want to remain at all times
in the background of the media.
Díaz's mother never wanted to make a circus out of her motherhood, she simply limited herself to
supporting the bullfighter in his fight
and to trust justice, which finally ruled in 2016 that Manuel Díaz was the son of El Cordobés: "For her her truth has not changed at all,
her truth was reality."

A maternity that was not easy, because in addition to
being alone and without money,
she also did not have the support of her parents, Manuel's grandparents.
With the passing of the months, the mother of María Dolores made the decision to
take care of her grandson
and she came to see him on weekends.
At the age of 21, she met the love of her life,
they got married, had five children
and eventually got divorced.
A most complicated process that Manuel Díaz never blamed him for.
To this day, the bullfighter has not hesitated to confess
how proud he is of the woman in his life,
that he always fought to defend her truth.
"My mother tells me to thank you from the heart.
She is calm, she is happy.
She does not want to talk. This is my way,
she knew how to step aside and be in her place,
in the place of a mother giving you
love, warmth and encouraging you She
sends you all a kiss from the heart and I thank you for respecting her position", the bullfighter has sentenced, alleging that, as from the first moment, María Dolores will continue to remain in a discreet background
.
