Córdoba fair, Spain.

Title: FESTIVALS AND MAY FAIR - CORDOBA 1968
This beautiful original Spanish poster depicts a woman with an Andalusian style and one of the most popular bullfighters in Spain called “Manolete” who was originally from Cordoba.
The fair of Cordoba is celebrated during the last week of May and its origins date back to 1284 when the king Sancho the 4th granted 2 days for Cordoba to celebrate the cattle fair.
Did you know…?
Manuel Laureano Rodríguez Sánchez (see last picture) was the son of a bullfighter (who also went by the name Manolete) and his wife Angustias. His father died when Manolete was five years old. Rising to prominence shortly after the Spanish Civil War, Manolete went on to be considered one of the greatest bullfighters of all time. His style was sober and serious, with few concessions to the gallery, and he excelled at the suerte de la muerte — the kill. Manolete's contribution to bullfighting included being able to stand very still while the bull passed close to his body and, rather than giving the passes separately, remaining in one spot and linking four or five consecutive passes into a compact series. He popularized the "Manoletina": a pass with the muleta normally given just before entering to kill with the sword.
In addition to appearing in all of the major bullrings of Spain, Manolete had important triumphs in Plaza Mexico.
There is a film about Manolete’s life played by Adrien Brody and Penelope Cruz in 2008, watch film trailer:
