Review:
Manolete, born Manuel Rodriguez Sanchez, came from a family of bullfighters. He was born in San Marina, Cordoba in 1917. He has been feted as possibly Spain's finest matador. He was internationally renowned, having performed in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. He was a serious bullfighter who devised new and dangerous moves but did not play to the crowd. When he was 30, he was gored through the right leg by a Miura bull, a large animal, bred for fighting. He died in 1947 and has been memorialized by a cluster of statues in the Count of Priego Square.
