Forcado charging a bull head-on at the Campo Pequeno bullring in Lisbon, Portugal.


Forcados appear in Portuguese bullfights and line up in teams taking the bull's frontal charge and catch it by the horns in an atttempt to bring it to a complete halt. This consists of a tradition called the pega. They appear in a separate performance after the cavaleiro has finished with the bull.
