In the work we can see the recreation of one of the most known passages of Don Quixote, the chapter LVIII: "Get out of the way, man of the devil, from the road, that those bulls will tear you to pieces! The passage refers to the intemperate and ill-considered encounter that the lanky knight is going to have with a bullfight that is being transported through those andurriales and roads of God, from his cattle farm to the bullring where they are to be fought. - Well, you scoundrel," replied Don Quixote, "for me there are no bulls worth fighting, even if they are of the fiercest that Jarama breeds on its banks. The edition of the Cervantes Institute says of the Jarama bulls: "The bravery of the bulls of the Jarama, a tributary river of the Tagus, was much celebrated in the literature of the Golden Age, perhaps because these were the bulls that were fought in Madrid". The vaquero had no room to answer, nor Don Quixote to turn aside, even if he wished to do so, and so the herd of the brave bulls and the herd of the gentle steers, with the crowd of vaqueros and other people who were leading them to the place where they were to run another day, passed over Don Quixote and over Sancho, Rocinante and the Rucio, knocking them to the ground and sending them rolling to the ground. The scene of great bravery, with all its captaining and picturesque genius, has been depicted by the most illustrious painters.
