Sol y Sombra

León, Guanajuato, November 4, 2023: Diego Silveti

Diego Silveti was as superb as I have ever seen him during the afternoon of November 4 in León, Guanajuato, along with Roca Rey making a day to remember.

 

 

 

 

 

León, Guanajuato, November 4, 2023: Andrés Roca Rey (cont.)

Andrés Roca Rey, at Plaza de Toros La Luz in León, Guanajuto.

The best seat I could obtain was in Sol, which is not usually where I sit.

I quickly noticed that most activity was taking place directly in front of color paintings on the barrera (I haven't been able to determine the artist), which made a wonderful background, especially when Andrés was in front of the drawing which included the words "El Rey"!

 

 

 

 

León, Guanajuato, November 4, 2023: Andrés Roca Rey

On November 4 of this year I attended a bullfight in León, Guanajuato, a mano a mano with Andrés Roca Rey and Diego Silveti.

This was another superb corrida. Both matadors were electrifying with wonderful bulls from Villa Carmela.

 

More tomorrow!

Irapuato October 28,2023: Francisco Martinez

Francisco Martinez took his alternativa in 2019, and this was the first time I have seen this stylish young matador.

I was very impressed with his style and comportment. If he had killed well I am sure he would have been awarded an ear for each of his bulls.
