In this chapter when they arrive in Spain they stay at the hotel Montoya where bull fighting is a very big deal. “To-night at seven o'clock they bring in the Villar bulls, and to-morrow come the Miuras. Do you all go down?” (136) In the part of Spain that Jake and company are in Bull fighting plays an integral role in all the peoples lives and the good bull fighters who are real “aficionados” are looked on with near God-like status.
