José Tomás's only comment after his bullfight on September 16, 2012, which had exhausted all superlatives: The gods of bullfighting were with us! And all those who were in the arenas of Nîmes that morning thought that they would never again witness such a miracle. Should we believe that the gods did not accept to resign themselves and wanted to share with mortals some of those moments of eternity of which they themselves did not hold the secret? Whatever the case, this is how it was in Granada, on June 22, 2019, after the fateful 5 p.m. Once again, the aerial and profound grace. Once again, the duende, the ascending vertigo that makes the unheard of a fatal emotion. Once again, a captivated plaza of sand and sky, and José Tomas bullfighting on a cloud of solid ground.
