Spanish bullfighter Jesus Millan Cambra watches a fighting bull fall during a bullfight in Valdemorillo, Spain on February 9, 2002. The Valdemorillo bullfight is traditionally the first important bullfight of the Spanish season. (AP Photo/Efe) Chapter 2 The Bullfight What would Spain be without bullfights?

The stories of Marco Polo had circulated widely. By the 1470s, learned men all over Europe believed that the earth was round. None, however, had acted on this belief by setting out westward into the Atlantic Ocean to reach a destination in Asia; that was what set Columbus apart. To realize his dream, however, Columbus needed the backing and patronage of a sovereign prince. Probably with the help of his wife's family, in 1484 he was granted an audience with the king of Portugal, John II, who listened, considered and then rejected Columbus' proposal.

Surveys show that the king, and the monarchy in general, is as popular today as it was 20 years ago. 1 When asked whether they think the monarchy should continue under Prince Felipe when his father leaves the throne, the Spaniards surveyed gave a similar positive response. Clearly, public opinion toward the monarchy and its future is positive. It hardly seems a controversial issue.
