Manolete
Spanish bullfighter
Manuel Laureano Rodríguez Sánchez (4 July 1917 – 29 August 1947), known professionally as Manolete, was a renowned Spanish bullfighter. He is considered one of the greatest matadors in the history of bullfighting.
Early Life
Manolete was born in Córdoba, Spain, into a family with a strong bullfighting tradition. His father, also named Manuel Rodríguez, was a bullfighter known as "Manolete the Elder." Manolete began his training in bullfighting at a young age, showing exceptional talent and dedication.
Career
Manolete's career took off in the late 1930s, and he quickly gained fame for his unique style and bravery in the bullring. He was known for his calm demeanor and his ability to stand very close to the bull during the fight, a technique that became his trademark. Manolete's style was characterized by his use of the muleta, a small red cape, to perform intricate and graceful passes.
Notable Achievements
Manolete achieved numerous accolades throughout his career. He was particularly famous for his performances in Madrid and Seville, where he drew large crowds and received widespread acclaim. His contributions to the art of bullfighting have left a lasting legacy, influencing many future matadors.
Death
Manolete's career was tragically cut short when he was fatally gored by a bull named Islero on 28 August 1947, during a fight in Linares, Jaén. He succumbed to his injuries the following day, on 29 August 1947. His death was a significant event in Spain, and he is remembered as a national hero.
Legacy

He is often cited as one of the greatest matadors of all time, and his techniques and style continue to be studied and admired by bullfighters and enthusiasts alike.
