Spanish Bullfighting - (card 2 of 3)
Spanish Bullfighting scene - In the final stage, the tercio de muerte, a matador re-enters the ring alone with a small red cape (muleta) and a sword. The matador uses his cape to attract the bull in a series of passes, demonstrating his control over it by getting especially close. The faena (literally job ) is the entire performance with the muleta, which is usually broken down into tandas or series. The faena ends with a final series of passes in which the matador with a muleta attempts to manoeuver the bull into a position to stab it between the shoulder blades and through the aorta or heart. The act of thrusting the sword is called an estocada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the final, exhilarating moments of a traditional Spanish bullfight, specifically the tercio de muerte or third part of the bullfight. In this stage, the matador, dressed in the iconic suit of lights, re-enters the ring alone with only a small red cape (muleta) and a sword. The faena, or entire performance with the muleta, is broken down into tandas or series. Here, the matador uses his cape to attract the bull in a series of passes, demonstrating his control over the powerful beast by getting especially close. The final series of passes, known as the faena, ends with the matador attempting to maneuver the bull into a position to deliver the coup de grâce or mercy kill. The act of thrusting the sword, called an estocada, is a historic and crucial moment in the bullfight. The bull's eyes are fixed on the matador, and the tension in the air is palpable. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of Spanish bullfighting, a cultural practice that continues to divide opinions worldwide.
