On April 30, 1983, Seville took to the streets. In the church of Nuestro Padre Jesús del Gran Poder, María Isabel Pantoja Martín, radiant in her satin dress with a seven-meter train, became the wife of Francisco Rivera ‘Paquirri’. She was the popular tonadillera and he, a bullfighter on the podium and recently divorced from Carmen Ordóñez. The crowd, devout and uncontrollable, stepped on her bridal train causing the very artistic bride to faint on the way to the ceremony. Many years later, another would come upon her leaving the Málaga Court for very different reasons. That was one of those weddings that paralyze Spain but also the prologue to a tragedy that would forever mark the artist.
