With this vow to the sister who had raised him through the impoverished years that followed the Spanish Civil War, a young unknown named Manuel Benitez prepared to make his first appearance as an apprentice matador in the small Andalusian town that five years before had expelled him as an incorrigible delinquent. Today Manuel Benitez, "El Cordobes," is the idol of Spain.
