A matador's outfit, called Traje de luces, is the traditional clothing that Spanish bullfighters (toreros, picadors and rejoneadors) wear in the bullring. The term originates from the sequins and reflective threads of gold or silver. These trajes are based on the flamboyant costumes of the 18th century dandies and showmen involved intauromachia, which later became exclusive to the bullfighting ritual. Later adornments include the montera hat, elaborate embroidery and decorative accessories.

What is the absolute location of the cape of good hope?
You need to be quite careful when interpreting this answer. "The Cape of Good Hope" is a broad geographic term that was once used in nautical terms to describe the Cape Peninsula in general, e.g. Rounding of the Cape of Good Hope. In this respect then the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Town are one and the same. There is still, however, a small section within the Cape Point Nature Reserve that uses this name and so it is therefore possible to provide a distance from the centre of Cape Town to this point, which is approximately 48km (as the crow flies).
