What does the word “Trapío” mean?
The word TRAPIO is usually used to denote the visible features by which the bull`s appearance and condition for fighting are evaluated.
Experts consider that a bull with TRAPIO must be provided with the following features:
Fine skeleton, powerful musculature, lack of excessive fat, small hooves, medium-sized horns.
the opening procession
Preceded by the “Alguacilillos”, the bullfighters
and their teams go around the arena to the royal box
to greet the President.
The three bullfighters do so in order of seniority.
Seen from the front, the most veteran is to the right,
the most novice is in the middle and to the left is the
one with intermediate experience.
The “Banderilleros” (the ones who jab the bull
with the “banderillas”) are situated also from
right to left, according to their seniority and they
march behind the swordsman.
Following them, two by two, the Picadores and
finally, the Mozos de Caballos (the horseman’s
assistants), the “Areneros” (the men in charge
of the sand in the bullring), are followed by the
mules and the “Mulilleros” (the men in charge
of bringing the dead bulls out of the arena).
El Domingo de Ramos , 9 de abril 2017, se lidiará una Corrida de toros de Victorino Martín. Los dos domingos precedentes, el 26 de Marzo y el 2 de Abril, se celebrarán dos Novilladas picadas
Corrida de toros
The bullfighters fight on foot and must belong to the category of “Matador de
Toros” acquired in a ceremony called “Alternativa”
The “Alternativa” is a ceremony in which a bullfighter obtains the standing of
“Matador de Toros”. In “La suerte de Matar” the veteran bullfighter approaches
the novice with the sword and red cape (attached to a stick) in the left hand,
and they are revealed at the same time. The veteran then hands over the
sword and cape, as the novice turns over the cape to the veteran. Having
finished the exchange, the “Padrino“ (the bullfighter that conducts the
ceremony) usually congratulates or gives advice to the new swordsman or
the protégé and they end by greeting each other. The ceremony is repeated
with the second bull, but now the new swordsman is the one to give the
bullfighting effects to the veteran.
The animal fighting in bullfights must weigh at least 470 kg and be at least four
years old.
Corrida de novillos o Novillada
The swordsman are bullfighters on foot who haven’t yet received the title of
“Matador de Toros”. The animals used in this case are Novillos, bulls
that have not succeeded in demonstrating to a stockbreeder a certain level of
fierceness required in the bullfighting trials. They usually are younger than the
bulls fighting in a Corrida de Toros.
Corrida de Rejones o Rejoneo
The mounted bullfighter fights on horseback, assisted by a secondary bullfighters
on foot.
