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 Jose Padilla toreando con muleta blanca


 It is not the color of the cape, but its movement that the bull is after as shown here by Juan Jose Padilla using a white muleta in Nimes.

If I am not mistaken in the old days the muletas were always white. Not sure though how long ago it changed to red.
