The picnic. What a treat. The exciting moment that arrives to substitute the boredom, the tedium and the general docility. Yesterday was even more necessary than ever. That’s why the photo that accompanies this article is more exact than ever.
Willingness there was, especially from Paulita, making his debut. He gave his everything – especially with the third bull- to try to overcome the impossible. The bulls were simply not up to it. Meek… awkward… vacant. They just could not respond. Uceda Leal, a veteran matador was the first to realize that there was nothing that could be done. And he quickly threw his hat at the whole thing. The local Navarran, Francisco Marco, had few opportunities but he had to try. He put his heart into it but he too failed to get any response from the bull. The whole lot of them, bulls and matadors went off empty-handed. In silence.
Tomorrow Padilla will be on display. And that will be a different story.
