In full effervescence of Seville, Madrid opens its doors to celebrate the San Isidro Fair, What is something else. His bull month with Monday breaks. A novelty that has imposed the company Plaza 1 (which is the same as saying Rafa Garrido and Simón Casas) and that is appreciated. Some oxygen in the marathon, which will extend until well in June and put the brooch with a deserved tribute. In this case, la corrida in memoryIt is for Victorino Martín, The Galapagar farmerwho made his debut no less than in the San Isidro of 1972. It will be on this occasion, the June 15 when they deal again and the date on which the three connoisseur bullfighters of this particular currency that so good and different moments have given the fans the faces with her: Paco Ureña, Emilio de Justo and Borja Jiménez. It will be the closure of a cycle that begins today with Alejandro Talavante’s walk, Juan OrtegaAnd Clemente’s confirmation with the run of the Madrid currency of Victoriano del Río. In the cycle 21 bullfights are announced, 3 bullfighters with itchors and 2 celebrations of rejones. Again, the Serial, has four rest days, which will be on Monday, May 19, 26 and June 2.
A year that the celebrations accumulate. The 125 of the Press And the 120 of the Royal Union of Lidia Bull Breeders With a run in his honor on May 18. Astados de la Quinta for Uceda Leal, Daniel Luque and Emilio de Justo will be dealt with. A little more we will have to wait for the press event. A special cartelazo for a date that deserves it: 125 years. The celebration will be held on May 28. The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, will preside over the celebration, and Juan Antonio Ruiz “Spartacus” will advise you from the box. The poster will be made up of Morante de la Puebla, Alejandro Talavante and Tomás Rufo, who will deal with bulls of GARCIGRANDE Livestock. An event in the Plaza de Madrid. Poster for which the “There are no tickets”as has also been done for May 23, on 24, 29 and 30, among others. On 13 occasions the place was filled in the last edition of the Fair. We will have to wait a little to know the scope of this, but What we can say is that San Isidro lives a splendid health.
In this 2025 he announces A total of 55 actors: 43 bullfighters, 5 rejoneadores and 7 bullfighters with itchors. In the livestock section, 23 are the livestocks announcedsome of them with two commitments, representing a total of 8 different fitsas we will analyze more detailed in the following pages, as deserves by the bull, the star of the fair and the bullfighting, the axis that moves this passion.
A great claim for fans
The Peruvian starAndrés Roca ReyIt is still the bullfighter that most box office pulls. Two afternoons in Madrid are announced. Until May 23 we will not see the right -hander in his first walk, which he shares with Emilio de Justo and Tomás Rufo to deal with bulls of Victoriano del Río. And the second will be the 29 in a poster in which the Rioja Diego Urdiales and Rafael Serna, who confirms the alternative, with an confinement of El Torero is announced. This is a season with a different approach. After the success that is hidden with his documentary film “Solitude afternoons”, created by Albert Serra and the absolute generosity of rock to expose themselves so brutally and stark to the camerashe has opted for a much more condensed campaign with that idea that he is less. Roca celebrates its ten of alternative this year. A decade since he broke into the ring and conquered a new generation.
With a total of 3 walks, the names of Miguel Ángel Perera, Emilio de Justo, Paco Ureña, Tomás Rufo, Fernando Adrián and Borja Jiménez stand out. In the cast of bullfighters that will perform two walks are Roca Rey, Morante de la Puebla, José María Manzanares, Talavante, Sebastián Castella, Juan Ortega, Daniel Luque, Pablo Aguado, Diego Urdiales, David Galván, Román, Fernando Robleño or Manuel Escribano.
Three come the two bullfighters who opened the big door last year. Borja Jiménez was the only one who did it in the serial (on foot and among the matadores). He succeeded in the penultimate run with an enclosure of Victoriano del Río where The extraordinary “sweet” came out, which honored the name. Fernando AdriánI would do the same for charity. Morante is one of the great attractions, after several seasons of coming and going and fighting with the torments of his head and is also one of the few figures of his generation that are being active with the goodbye of Juli, Ponce … But above all it is a great artist whom we are lucky to see active. And in that fragility there is a greatness that is capable of interpreting bullfighting with a depth of all time. Juan Ortega arrives at a great moment with high draft tasks and not only an artist. He is rediscovering and breaking his own roof. In addition to being the bullfighter who slows down the most. It is able to reduce bulls at unlikely speeds. The hand in hand with Aguado on the 24th is one of the strong posters of the fair. From the also Sevillian Paul we are seeing an improved version. Urdiales is always expected. In his right hand he has the bullfighting encyclopedia. It happens to Daniel Luque, power, value and capacity. The maximum respect for Notary, a bullfighter with an incomparable honesty and, possibly, the May number of holders in history.
To continue making history
Everything is left to go. We are at the gates of fear, the reveals, the possible triumphs, failures, or blank pages that will be written on the sand of this square during the next month. Everyone plays it. Even the public, because those who come from outside also judge us. No one knows anything and everything is yet to be defined. That is the magic of the party, but When I finished everything, pages of the history of bullfighting will have been written. There will be bulls that will go to the collective memory and end up lifted forever. Once without prize for romas swords, some bullfighter who did not enter the pools and may have left us wanting more, and some winner, perhaps of those who take time or those who go down in history. But if the bull fan knows anything, when that is extraordinary, he does not want to lose it, even if the toll is, and we all know that, a good amount of days for oblivion.
And to have this clear idea we can travel, without going any further, to the fair last year. We had to wait for the almost last day of the fair so that the big door of The monumental of sales It opened from par to be taken to Borja Jiménez, who had been a bullfighter revelation a year earlier. We would do it again with Fernando Adrián in the Charitable run. And we enjoy it in the bullfight with Jarocho, who stole our hearts and it is more common in the celebrations of rejones. That is why Diego Ventura and Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza left.
The San Isidro 2024 Fair, Next to the appointment of the BENEFICIENCE CORRY which put an end to a month of bulls in Madrid, It closed with a total of 564,353 spectators. A daily average of 20,902 spectators They met in the lines of the Venteño and In 13 afternoons the poster of “There are no bills” In the Monumental ticket offices: Half of fertilizers had all the localities exhausted, the best record of the last ten years. Some data that make interest in the party of bulls very clear. And now that luck assists us and freedom remains a fact.
