Presentation
The bullfight starts with a procession of all the present: the paseo (or Paseíllo ). To the hour envisaged, the president presents a white handkerchief. With the sound of a Paso doble , the procession shakes, preceded by the Alguazil S (or Alguacilillo S ). To the first rank the three matadors, classified by order of seniority come: on the left (in the direction of walk) oldest (the Chief of lidia), on the right the second of seniority, in the least old medium. If a bullfighter presents for the first time in the “plaza” , it advances naked head, if not it is capped traditional hat, the “Montera” . Behind the peones then the Picador S, also classified according to the seniority follow.Come then the Monosabio S and Arenero S , employed arenas which have as a function to give in state the track between each bull.
Finally the train comes from Arrastre , attachment of mules carried out by the Mulillero S, charged with trailing the skin of the bull out of the arena.
