"EL CARTAGENERO" THRILLS THE CROWDS

The recent fiesta at Ramonete in Murcia climaxed with a spectacular bullfight in the village. Hundreds of locals gathered to watch the action in a temporary bullring, erected especially for the event.

The two matadors, who performed on horseback, fought a total of five bulls in this traditional Spanish entertainment. Jose Antonio Navarro Orenes and Pedro Hernadez de Trivino, showed a fantastic level of bravery and skill to defeat the bulls.

The real star of the show was the young matador, El Cartagenero. With his daring horsemanship and film-star good looks, the matador thrilled the audience. His performance was totally fearless and the control of his horses was amazing to witness.

The matadors fought two bulls each. Orenes struggled with the first beast, eventually killing it at the second attempt. El Cartagenero had no such problems with his prey. The judges enjoyed his performance and gave him the traditional prize of the bull's ear as reward for his stylish victory.

In the second round of fights, Orenes gave a more accomplished performance, impressing
the audience by performing a number of dressage routines as well as fighting the bull. He too was awarded the ear for his efforts.

El Cartagenero then returned for his second contest, turning the excitement level up even further with a fantastic performance. The crowd loved his flamboyant skills and cheered loudly as he frequently made his horse rise on it's hind legs. As El Cartagenero finished the contest, hundreds of spectators were on their feet cheering and waving white handkerchiefs in appreciation. The judges shared the crowd's enthusiasm by giving the matador the ultimate bullfighting prize: the bull's two ears and tail.

The bullfight finished with both matadors teaming up to contest the final animal. After another impressive performance the fight was soon over. As the crowd applauded and cheered, both men were carried shoulder high around the bullring by their supporters.
