Facinating!...I just read Benitez's wiki...Actually in offbeat sports mountaineering is another sport I find facinating...[/QUOTE]
He had an amazing life. He almost seems like a Hemingway creation only more interesting. I will never forget watching him on his knees with the muleta behind him as the bull charged like this photo. I don't know that I could watch bullfighting at this point in life but I know the 16 year old version of me was absolutely addicted because of Benitez.
As for mountaineering, I've read a couple of books on Mallory and Irvine's Everest climbs which were great reads.
