The Blonde Goddess

It's neither one of us, except perhaps in our Pamplona dreams.

We're bowing our heads and ordering another patxaran in honor of Conchita Cintron, the most famous female bullfighter who fought more than 750 bulls in her lifetime. She died earlier this month, at the age of 86.

Read about her here, and here. Or watch her in action.
