On September 4, 2016, a bullfight was held in Valladolid, Spain, in homage to Victor Barrio, a matador killed in a Spanish bullring in July 2016. Six of Spain's top matadors performed, facing one bull each. The event was sold out, and each matador paid tribute to his widow who was present.
The mood was tremendously respectful, each bull came from a different breeder, and each matador gave an inspired performance.
One of the matadors was Alejandro Talavante, pictured below.
