toreros

Caped arena fighters

Toreros is the plural of torero, a bullfighter—specifically one who fights on foot rather than horseback.

The term comes from Spanish and applies to all participants in a bullfight, though matador designates the principal fighter who kills the bull.

The toreros paraded into the arena in their traditional suits of lights.
