With sword poised, the Matador receives the charge of the bull and with unerring aim the long blade is thrust to the hilt into the bull's shoulder, piercing his heart.

As the bull charges the Banderillero sticks the sharp fish hook ends of the banderillas into the beast's shoulders, one on each side, where they hang to torture and enrage him.

It is quite a dangerous act to place the banderillas exactly as they should be and the bullfighter must move as quick as thought to avoid the cruel horns.

Quite exciting is the play with the bright colored cape, which the fighter holds at arms length, allowing the bull to charge and hook frantically in an endeavor to annhilate his tantalizer.

After placing several sets of banderillas in the Bull he is further enraged by having the red cloak planted in front of him thus preparing for the fatal charge on the Matadors sword.

The Matador lures the bull to the charge with a very brght red cape and with sword in hand only awaits a favorable opportunity to make the fatal thrust.

In addition to the interest of the Bullfight, the Bullfighters resplendent in their bright costumes literally covered with heavy gold braid is an impressive sight indeed.
