...struggle that holds all Spain enthralled as it watches the two: haughty, handsome Luis Dominguin, 33, the sometime international playboy whose cool style can crackle with showmanship, and boyish Antonio Ordoñez, whose classic passes flare with the brilliance that fires aficionados into ecstasy. Each is a millionaire, but each cares more for his craft than cash. And each is fond of holding up a forefinger, smiling faintly and declaring: "Yo, el primero...

In his just completed lagoon restaurant (opposite), done with Architect Joaquin Alvarez Ordoñez, Candela uses undulating folds of great elegance. For his Santa Fe bandstand, done with Architect Mario Pani, he combined six hyperbolic paraboloids to form a 40-ft. cantilever of shelter. Candela has designed another bandstand that will soar...
