GUSTINE — When the wooden gates swung open at Bella Vista Park on the afternoon of Sept. 14, the air carried more than dust and brass band music. It carried the weight of a farewell. In the center of the arena sat Paulo Jorge Ferreira, dressed in the traditional casaca, preparing for what the California bullfighting world had already named his “Last Dance.” After more than two decades as the defining figure of Portuguese mounted bullfighting in the United States, Ferreira was stepping into the ring one final time. Sharing the arena floor with him were the Forcados Amadores de Turlock, marking their 50th anniversary — a milestone intertwined with Ferreira’s own legacy.
