AUDIOVISUALS OF SALAMANCA’S DEHESA AND SAMPLE OF SMALL ARTEFACTS

Chimeras, trophies, afternoons of success and glory and of tragedy and blood. All this is captured in the hundreds of memories that throng in this room. Bolas charras (a traditional type of jewelry from Salamanca) were typically used for the draw the morning of a bullfight at the bullring La Glorieta. The muleta (a red cape used during the main event) with which the matador Javier Castaño fought against six bulls from the Miura Cattle Ranch in the Roman colosseum of Nimes.
