Paquiro, a celebrated matador in Spain, made a name for himself in the bullfighting world. Originally aspiring to be a surgeon, financial circumstances led him to pursue bullfighting instead. He left a lasting impact on the sport by establishing rules and fight order, as well as introducing the iconic “Traje de Luz” attire for bullfighters. Known for his unmatched skill and fame, Paquiro commanded substantial fees for his performances. Despite unsuccessful attempts to regain his former glory post-retirement, he ended his career with a memorable fight in Madrid.
