Verónica (bullfighting)
Spanish-style bullfighting is a type of bullfighting that is practiced in several Hispanophone, Spanish-speaking countries: Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, as well as in parts of southern France and Portugal. In Colombia it has been outlawed but is being phased out with a full ban coming in effect in 2027. This style of bullfighting involves a physical contest with humans (and other animals) attempting to publicly subdue, immobilize, or kill a bull. The most common bull used is the Spanish Fighting Bull (''Toro Bravo''), a type of cattle native to the Iberian Peninsula. This style of bullfighting is seen to be both a sport and performance art. The red colour of the cape is a matter of tradition – bulls are color blindness, color blind. They attack moving objects; the brightly-colored cape is used to mask blood stains. In a traditional ''corrida'', three ''toreros ''(or ''Torero#Matador de Toros, matadores'') each fight against two out of a total of six fighting bulls t ...
