What is a veronica that a bullfighter performs?

Answer 1

A "veronica" is a traditional bullfighting maneuver performed by the matador, where he uses his cape (known as the "veronicas") to elegantly and skillfully manipulate the bull's movements. The matador stands still and allows the bull to charge, gracefully sweeping the cape in a fluid motion to demonstrate control and artistry. This pass is characterized by its smoothness and the matador's ability to showcase bravery while maintaining a sense of poise. The veronica is often one of the first techniques employed to establish rapport with the bull.
