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.

Curro Romero por la Puerta del Principe, Sevilla


(from the torossolysombra Instagram page) 

El 19 de Mayo de 1966 actuo Curro Romero como unico espada en Sevilla con 6 toros de D. Carlos Urquijo, y el resultado fue una esplendida tarde en la que corto 8 orejas. Dicen que aquella tarde nacio el mito y la religion Currista, aunque los aficionados ya hablan de tardes inolvidables desde sus inicios como novillero.
