Santiago Martín Sánchez (El Viti)
El Viti, a nickname that comes affectionately from the Salamanca town of Vitigudino where he was born, is a living legend of bullfighting.
His serious and solemn, but affable, countenance, together with his mastery in the ring, have led him to be considered one of the best muleteers in history and a virtuoso of the neoclassical tradition.
Such is his genius that even out of misadventures he knew how to make art. While he was still a bullfighting bull, a bull knocked him over in France, seriously fracturing his left arm and leaving a scar that prevented him from fully stretching his arm. This forced him to develop a wrist game that gave him a very personal, natural and inimitable style of bullfighting, with a perfection that had not been seen since Manolete.
