Early life Martínez was born on 19 September 1936 – roughly two months after the Spanish Civil War had broken out – in the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda on Spain's southern coast, near Jerez de la Frontera. Some sources even go as far as to say that he was born at the town's slaughterhouse. His paternal grandfather was the caretaker there. From a young age, he already felt drawn towards bullfighting. His parents were bullfighting ''aficionados'' and his father was a modest ''novillero'' (novice bullfighter who fights yearling bulls) who used the professional nickname "Chocolate" ().

Alternativa (bullfighting)
The ''alternativa'' ("alternative"), in Spanish-style bullfighting, is the act by which a ''novillero'' is authorized to be considered a ''torero'', so that he can alternate in bullfighting with other bullfighters of the same category, both in bullfighting on foot and on horseback. From the point of view of anthropology, it can be considered that taking the ''alternativa'' is a rite of passage or transition in which the bullfighter completes one stage of his formation to start another in which he becomes a professional matador of bulls. This change becomes effective with the ritual or ceremony of the ''alternativa'' and in the symbolism of the presentation of the bullfighter in society, in which he dons the ''traje de luces The ('suit of lights') is the traditional clothing that Spanish bullfighters (, , and ) wear in the bullring. The term originates from the sequins and reflective threads of gold or silver. These are based on the flamboyant costumes of the 18 ...'' ("sui ...
