(Wikipedia:) The main action of Mexico takes place in Mexico over a three-day period in the fictional city of Toledo in 1961. The occasion is the annual bullfighting festival, at which two matadors — one an acclaimed hero of the sport, the other a scrapping contender — are prepared to fight to the death for fame and glory.
(Author) As the main actors are introduced we get a short summary of Mexico’s ancient history, the Spanish settlers and the American civil war. There is also tons of information on bullfighting.
