This book takes the form of a journey through Spain, from north to south, from Pamplosa via Madrid to Valencia, with descriptions of a number of bull-fighting scenes encountered en route.  It centres on the rivalry  of two leading matadors, one from the romantic approach and the other representing the classic method of bull-fighting.
