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.

The year of Morante


Talk about the year of Morante. 

After cutting two ears off a bull in Sevilla on May 1st, then cutting a tail off a bull in Jerez, now Morante brought the house down in Madrid on the last day of San Isidro by cutting an ear off each of his bulls and being carried out la Puerta Grande for the first time in his career in Madrid. 

He even came out of his hotel room later, wearing nothing more than a bathrobe, and toasted the crowd that had assembled and drank champagne all while standing on his balcony.

There are a lot of videos out there and eventually I will post links, but here is one for now.
