    What difference is there in size and in function between a capa and a muleta in a bullfight?

    Question #101613. Asked by flem-ish. (Dec 10 08 5:19 PM)

    		The capa is the heavy silk and percale article of clothing they wear on their back as they enter the ring.
    The muleta is a smaller version of the capa, suspended by a stick set into three holes of the muleta. It is used to maneuver the bull during the final passes before the kill.
