Pedro Romero Martínez, a renowned bullfighter from Ronda, Spain, revolutionized the art of using the muleta. He gained recognition by participating in bullfights across various cities, successfully killing 285 bulls in a single year. Considered the first matador to elevate bullfighting to an art form, he retired in 1799 after facing thousands of bulls unscathed. Romero later established a bullfighting school in Seville, where he imparted his classical style to aspiring matadors. His enduring legacy can be seen in the Plaza de Toros, where his influence remains significant.
