These beliefs are usually linked to good or bad luck \u2014 such as the idea that breaking a mirror or crossing paths with a black cat brings misfortune.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In bullfighting<\/strong>, superstitions have always been closely linked to the spectacle, undoubtedly because of its ritual nature and its constant \u201cdance with death\u201d.

The colour yellow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yellow is a colour avoided by almost all matadors in their clothing and personal belongings, as it is widely believed to bring bad luck. Some matadors have challenged this belief, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/41-tickets-jesulin-de-ubrique.html\">Jesul\u00edn de Ubrique<\/a>, who wore a yellow <em>traje de luces<\/em> (traditional bullfighting suit) during the peak of his career. Others, like the Mexican matador Alberto Balderas, tragically died in the ring while wearing this colour. The fear of yellow is also common among actors and dates back to the 17th century, when Moli\u00e8re died during a theatrical performance while dressed in yellow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Leaving a hat or montera on the bed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Placing a hat or <em>montera<\/em> (the traditional bullfighter\u2019s hat) on a bed is strictly avoided, especially on the day of the bullfight. For this reason, matadors limit access to their hotel room, allowing only their <em>mozo de espadas<\/em> (personal assistant) and close companions \u2014 those who are aware of these beliefs \u2014 to enter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Leaving the hotel room lights on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another widespread habit among matadors and members of their <em>cuadrilla<\/em> (support team) is to leave the hotel room lights on, so that they can turn them off later.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9503fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c9503fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10689\" alt=\"13 superstici\u00f3n\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/numero-13-mala-suerte.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6c5929 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6c5929\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>4. Avoiding the number 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many matadors avoid staying in hotel rooms numbered 13, or even rooms whose digits add up to 13 (such as 49, 67, 94 or 148).<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Repeating or avoiding hotels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matadors often return to the same hotel \u2014 or deliberately avoid it \u2014 depending on how their last performance in that town went. If the afternoon ended in success, they tend to repeat the same routines and habits. If luck was not on their side, those routines are usually changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Repeating suit colours and embroidery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the colours of the <em>traje de luces<\/em> and its embroidery. Superstition or not, many matadors stick to a limited range of colours and rarely vary them. The same goes for embroidery patterns.

The dedication (<em>brindis<\/em>) and the position of the montera<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When a matador dedicates a bull to the audience (<em>brindis<\/em>), he carefully places his <em>montera<\/em> face down on the sand. If he throws it and it lands face up, he will usually turn it over with the <em>muleta<\/em> (the red cloth) or by hand.
