Spanish Bullfighting - (card 2 of 3)
Spanish Bullfighting scene - In the final stage, the tercio de muerte, a matador re-enters the ring alone with a small red cape (muleta) and a sword. The matador uses his cape to attract the bull in a series of passes, demonstrating his control over it by getting especially close. The faena (literally job ) is the entire performance with the muleta, which is usually broken down into tandas or series. The faena ends with a final series of passes in which the matador with a muleta attempts to manoeuver the bull into a position to stab it between the shoulder blades and through the aorta or heart. The act of thrusting the sword is called an estocada
