Islero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islero was the name of the bull from the Miura ranch that gored and killed the famous bullfighter Manolete. Islero was the 5th bull of the afternoon, and the 2nd for Manolete, on August 28, 1947, in the town of Linares in the province of Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. Manolete reached over the horns of the bull giving the swordthrust just as Islero gored him in the thigh. He died on the operating table later that evening. The Miura bull ranch, located near Seville, Spain, dates from 1849 and is known for producing large and difficult fighting bulls that have killed more bullfighters than any other bull ranch in history.
The name has been given to a car model named the Lamborghini Islero.
