picador

Published by Picador, the book is set for an October 2014 release.

Like a picador, he takes his time to sap the strength of his foes before clubbing them unconscious.

I had learned the metaphor, which stands for Andalusia, from my friend Francisco Sevilla, a well-known picador.

Eyes are flashing, on faces a flush comes, a number of hats fly to the arena in honor of the picador.

I saw two such examples in Madrid, after which came a hurricane of applause for the picador.

When the bull withdraws, the picador advances, but only a few steps, so that the battle never takes place in the centre.

Sometimes they come to close quarters, a picador is thrown, his horse is wounded, or perhaps killed.
