Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Juan Bautista in Madrid, May 15th, 2008


muleta. A red flannel cape, usually lined, with a wooden stick for support, supposedly invented by Pedro Romero in the 18th century. No matter how good he may be with cape and banderillas, a torero's fame ultimately depends on his skill with the muleta. - Barnaby Conrad's Encyclopedia of Bullfighting
