A matador is a skilled bullfighter who performs in a traditional Spanish bullfighting event known as a corrida. The matador's role is to engage with the bull using a series of choreographed movements, showcasing their agility and bravery. They typically wear a distinctive outfit called a traje de luces, which is adorned with bright colors and intricate designs. During the performance, the matador uses a cape and a sword to demonstrate their control over the bull. The event is steeped in cultural significance in Spain and other countries, often drawing large crowds. However, bullfighting is also a subject of controversy due to animal welfare concerns.
