The parade

Is the beginning of the corrida. Bullfighters, their troupes and all people who work in the bullfight march from the puerta de cuadrillas (Gate of the Troupes) to the palco presidencial (presidential balcony). The order is very strict. Once the parade is finished, the participants wave their hands at the president, wait one minute in silence and then wave at the audience.

Monosabios (Assistants) They help the picador (the man on a horse armed with a pike) when he is fighting the bull

Mulilleros (Muleteers) Helped by three mules, they drag the carcass of the bull out of the bullring after the faena

Areneros (Sandmen) They take care of the sand of the ruedo, keeping it in a good condition for the lidia (fight)

Picadors (Riders armed with a pike) Two of them work for each matador. During the paseíllo, they follow the same order than secondary bullfighters

Subalternos (Secondary Bullfighters) Those working for the oldest matador occupy the first row, then come those working for the second oldest and finally those working for the youngest
Matadores (Bullfighters) They occupy the first row in the parade. The oldest one is located on the left side and the youngest in the middle. If a matador is fighting bulls for the first time in that bullring, he will carry his montera (hat) in his hands during the paseíllo.

Alguacilillos (Sheriffs) They drive the parade to the presidential balcony and after that they spin around the ruedo on their horses to verify that everything is prepared for the bullfight to begin.
