Synopsis:

TV series based on the life of José Alvarez Juncal, a bullfighter who, at the height of his glory married a wealthy and cultured woman from a conservative family. The marriage soon fell apart. Later Juncal settled in Seville where he fell in love with Teresa Campos with whom he lived for 20 years. This story takes off from there, following his life and adventures.

José Alvarez, an aging, once-famous bullfighter is down on his luck. Without money and homeless, he attempts to get back in touch with the son and wife he abandoned in the past. His life story is one of women and bulls, bulls and women.

Certainly one of the most endearing TV series shown on Spanish TV, `Juncal' is one which would seem best to encapsule the set foibles in a traditional sense, as well as characterizing masterfully the one-time bullfighter and his nostalgic claims to past glory. In his shoeblack - Rafael Álvarez - the `maestro' matador Paco Rabal finds a sympathetic ear and simple adoration.
