Jose Miguel Arroyo "Joselito"

 

One of the most respected matadors around today, he has made his mark as one of the finest toreros of all time.  

Born on 1.5.1969 not far from the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, at a very young age José Miguel Arroyo was accepted as a student at  the "Escuela de Tauromaquia de Madrid"  under the tutelage of Enrique Martín Arranz, who later became his  manager.

1999 Biography
Interpreting the Torero's Art with Feeling
Performing with the Cape

In terms of toreo "I think I'm classical, pure, profound, a stylist. I fight with feeling and with  passion, and I consider myself, above all, an artist......I'm impulsive and emotional ....I hardly ever believe in my capabilities.....I go up and down like a roller coaster".
