What does “La Faena” mean

thumb_Capote 5_1024“La Faena” is a collection of a series of connected
steps the bullfighter makes, remaining still while the
bull circles him. The bullfighter´s intent, through the
power of his cape and not because of the bull´s natural
fierceness, is to make the animal charge. The most
valued elements in this stage are the excitement of the
bullfighter´s execution of steps, together with the courage
the bull displays to oppose difficulties. This ends with the
“Suerte suprema”, and is followed with the killing of the bull.
