Out of this group five - at most - will last the course.   \u003cbr/\u003eAmong them are Patricia, Nuria and Beatriz - three teenagers who are defying the  macho conventions of bullfighting to try and make it in this deep-rooted bastion of male  power - even if some of their fellow trainee matadors aren't entirely convinced.\u003cbr/\u003eTeacher Carlos Neila, himself a matador, admits there are some obstacles which may  prove harder for girls to overcome than others.  \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (Spanish)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Es obvio que la fuerza fisica de una mujer no es la misma que la de un hombre y por  eso ellas tienen que poner mas empeno en adquirir una fuerza que les permita hacer lo  que los hombres, pero ellas tienen otras cosas que los hombres no tenemos.\"\u003cbr/\u003e(Translation): \"Well it's obvious that a woman's physical strength is not the same as a  man's and that's why they have to be even more determined to acquire a level of  strength which will enable them to do the same thing as men, but they have other  pluses that men don't when it comes to bullfighting.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION:Carlos Neila, Matador and teacher.\u003cbr/\u003eStrength alone isn't everything when it comes to fighting bulls it seems.  Grace and  sensitivity also come into play and this is where the girls have the advantage.  \u003cbr/\u003eNineteen year old Nuria Sanchez comes from a long line of bullfighters but she's the  first girl in her family who's set on becoming a full-fledged \"matador\".\u003cbr/\u003eAfter three years' training, she's ready for her first bullfight - not without a glittering new  \"traje de luces\" (suit of lights) though!\u003cbr/\u003eNuria knows she'll be judged harshly by the critics - and not just because she's new to  the bullring either.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Por el hecho de ser mujer yo creo que te exigen mas que por el hecho de ser un  chico, yo creo que la prueba esta en lo tipico, una chica tiene menos fuerza una chica  es mas sensible, una chica tal no, pero esta claro que te van a exigir mas por el hecho  de ser mujer e incluso si estas mal la bronca va a ser mayor segurament que la que le  puedan echar a un chico.\"\u003cbr/\u003e(Translation): \"The very fact I'm a woman I think means they public will demand more  from me than if I was a man, I think proof of this the typical array of comments you  hear, about girls not being a strong as boys, girls being more sensitive, this that or the  other, but clearly they (the public) are going to demand more of you because you'll have  to prove as a woman that you can overcome all these things, and if your performance is  weak they're going to come down on you much much heavier than if you're a boy.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Nuria Sanchez, \"Novillera\" (female trainee bullfighter)\u003cbr/\u003ePublic opinion among Spain's bullfighting community - and audience - is slowly coming  round to accepting that the \"senoritas\" of the bullring may be just as competent with  \"cape and sword\" as the men.  \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, there is still some way to go before they're fully accepted in the tight-knit,  macho business of bullfighting.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE:(Spanish)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Ese machismo al que has aludido es la mayor dificultad, es un mundo muy  conservador en muchos aspectos, muy machista en casi todos, y entonces la entrada  de una mujer pues es relativamente complicado aunque en estos tiempos se ha  aceptado bien.
