Morenito De Aranda
Jesús Martínez Barrios (; born 10 November 1985), known as Morenito de Aranda () is a Spanish bullfighter. Born in a small town in Burgos, he had no family background in bullfighting, but has nonetheless become a well known matador in his own country and abroad. His interests also extend to raising the very cattle that he fights at a farm that he established. Early life Morenito was born into a family of bullfighting fans in Aranda de Duero.

Alternativa (bullfighting)
The ''alternativa'' ("alternative"), in Spanish-style bullfighting, is the act by which a ''novillero'' is authorized to be considered a ''torero'', so that he can alternate in bullfighting with other bullfighters of the same category, both in bullfighting on foot and on horseback. From the point of view of anthropology, it can be considered that taking the ''alternativa'' is a rite of passage or transition in which the bullfighter completes one stage of his formation to start another in which he becomes a professional matador of bulls. This change becomes effective with the ritual or ceremony of the ''alternativa'' and in the symbolism of the presentation of the bullfighter in society, in which he dons the ''traje de luces The ('suit of lights') is the traditional clothing that Spanish bullfighters (, , and ) wear in the bullring. The term originates from the sequins and reflective threads of gold or silver. These are based on the flamboyant costumes of the 18 ...'' ("sui ...
