Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia la tauromaquia

Did you know that bullfighters went on strike so they could fight on Sundays? That the Osborne bull was defended as cultural heritage before the Supreme Court? That bullfighting even made its way into international campaigns for well-known brands like Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Johnnie Walker? That there was even a bullfighting pool? That the Fiesta has been present in such unexpected places as the Vatican, New York, or Japan? That there were attempts to ban bullfights for religious, political, or moral reasons long before the current debates? Or that the final afternoon of the great caliphs of bullfighting was shrouded in a strange curse? The history of bullfighting is full of surprising episodes and unusual characters who rarely appear in books. Beyond the great figures and memorable performances, there is a whole world of little-known stories that form an essential part of bullfighting culture and the very history of Spain and Latin America. With rigor, passion, and a deep knowledge of the bullfighting world, Francisco Gordón Suárez brings together real, documented, and often forgotten stories that show the extent to which bullfighting has influenced politics, law, society, literature, advertising, and everyday life. An invitation to discover the lesser-known side of a unique tradition, whose legacy is an inseparable part of our cultural history.
