Spanish Female Bullfighters in Iloilo
A rare example of Felix Laureano’s Iloilo photo studio work (along Calle Iznart), Senoritas toreras de la cuadrilla del apodera de Armengol, is proof that Iloilo by the mid-19th century not only attracted European opera singers but also female bullfighters from Spain.
Only Manila and Iloilo boasted of having bullrings in the Philippine archipelago.
