In Seville's magnificent bullring, Spain's three leading toreros, El Cordobes, Paco Camino and El Viti, all bypassed Princess Grace, offered their hats and first bulls to Jackie in homage. In response, she hastily dispatched a U.S. embassy aide to nearby Moron Airbase for three Kennedy half-dollars, which she slipped inside the hats before returning them.
