paseíllo
Matadors' opening parade
The paseíllo is the ceremonial opening procession of a Spanish bullfight, when matadors, banderilleros, and picadors parade across the arena in traditional costume to salute the presiding official.
The ritual marks the formal beginning of the corrida: The crowd fell silent as the paseíllo began.
