That girl was named Isabel, and belonged to one of the most traditional families, descending from Afonso de Herédia, the knight who came to Portugal in the XV century.

The bullfight was the first pre-wedding festivity to take place.
Luis Correa de Sá Soveral, whose ancestors were intimately connected to the monarchy, dressed all the bullfighting arena of Campo Pequeno (a national monument with more than 110 years, built in the neo-arabic style) with the colours of the monarchic flag (blue and white). Photos scanned from the magazine Olá! Semanário: 1-2. panoramic view of the Campo Pequeno; 3. Marquess of Lavradio and Salvador Correa de Sá (the ones in charge of the decoration of the bullfighting arena).    Last edited by Elsa M.; 05-12-2006 at 06:40 PM.
