RAPA DAS BESTAS

  • Photographer
    JOAQUÍN GÓMEZ SASTRE, Spain

The one of Sabucedo is the best known curro and also presents
own strokes that differentiate it from the others. Among these
differences the most important is that in Sabucedo no ropes,
sticks or devices are used to reduce the animal. The aloitadores,
who are the ones who are in charge of securing to the beast or
stallion while proceeding to the rapa, use only their skill and their
body to carry out its work.
