EL TERCIO DE MULETA

El Tercio de Muleta is the last stage of the bullfight. During this stage the bull is prepared for the kill. This is the most transcending moment of the bullfight because the grace with which the bullfighter maneuvers the sword shows his artistic abilities. The importance of this stage is also the nearness of the bullfighter to the bull, which demonstrates his ability to establish complete domination over the bull.
