While watching the bullfight on April 12 the commentators mentioned that Manuel Escribano now holds the record for the most portagayolas performed in the plaza de toros de Sevilla.
As you can see he is having to wear a pair of jeans. This is due to the fact that he was gored shortly after performing a portagayola with his first bull and his traje de luces was both torn up quite a bit and then eventually had to be cut off while in the infirmary.
It was quite the sight though, and probably the highlight of the feria, when he made his way back out into the plaza to fight his last bull. It was even made more impressive that the band played a paso doble while he performed the portagayola. Is that possibly a first? I don't know.
