El Payo

The bull, Tinajero, (from the ganaderia La Paz), passes the capote of El Payo and appears to be headed into my camera. The bull appears closer than he was, though sometimes the bulls crash into the wooden planks separating the spectators under the stands from the bulls.

El toro, Tinajero (ganadería La Paz), pasa el capote de El Payo y parace que va a chocar conmigo! El toro parace mas cerca que estaba...
