Spanish style bullfighting

In Spain their style bullfighting is called corrida de toros or la fiesta, also in Mexico we call this sport like corrida de toros. This is a traditional corrida in where three matadores each fight with  two bulls, each of which is between four and six old and wheighs no less than 460kg moreless. "Each matador has six assistants two picadores "lancers on horseback" where their job if for hurt the bull from the back" (Fiona). With this help  the torero it wouldn´t have any problem because the bull it would be tired and they also they are mounted on horseback, three banderilleros who along with the matadors are collectively that make the bull be tired, know as toreros and a mozo de espadas "sword page" (Fiona). The word matador is only used in engish where in spanish the more general torero is used like in Spain or Mexico they use only the word torero. In Spain in the spectacle, first they present all the toreros then in a big door it enter all the torero, horseback and some banderilleros, they are accompained by a band music with very good songs. The torero use an elegant dress where you think that the dress has diamonds and the matadores use a gold dress make you think that the dress has gold. The banderilleros are the opposite they use silver dress because they are the one´s that help the torero. When the spectacle is going to start only one torero is waiting to the bull, so it´s start the show and you have a very good spectacle.
