  • A Matadores pauses for a moment before entering the bullring at an evening 'Corrida de Touros', on 15th July 2016, at Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. A matador de toros (or "killer of bulls" from Latin mactator, killer, slayer, from mactare, to slay) is considered to be both an artist and an athlete, possessing great agility, grace, and co-ordination. The great personal danger of bullfighting adds to the performing matador's mystique; matadores are regularly injured by bulls and, concurrently, 533 professional bullfighters have been killed in the arena since 1700. In the Portuguese version, unlike Spanish bullfights, the bull is not killed. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • Touring bullfighting Lusitanos horses await unloading from their horsebox before being ridden in the ring by Cavaleiros riders at the evening's 'Corrida de Touros', on 15th July 2016, at Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Cavaleiros are  horseman or woman (rider), dressed in traditional 18th century costumes, fighting the bull from horseback. The horses are Portuguese Lusitanos, specially trained for the fights. These horses are usually skilled in dressage and may exhibit their art in the arena. The purpose of this fight is to stab three or four bandarilhas (small javelins) in the back of the bull. In the past, horseback bullfighters were often members of old aristocratic families. In the Portuguese version, unlike Spanish bullfights, the bull is not killed.
