An oasis in the current desert that is the party, where they send the interests of the bullfights above those of the fans. A ‘Sancta Sanctorum’ of the full bull for three years. Let us speak/write of the fan’s fair that is held with three very interesting posters, this weekend in San Agustín de Guadalix, highlighting the enclosure of Damián Castaño in front of an enclosure by Dolores Aguirre. Organized by the Bullfighting Club 3 Puyazos, which, honoring its name, value the bull, of course, and the fate of rods. A group specimen that proposes a different way of organizing celebrations from independence, of course without any profit. Since the contributions of the founding partners, common partners, supporters, collaborators or sponsors, and the benefits obtained from the celebrations – and other activities – are destined to the realization of those who schedule the following years. We interviewed its president Alberto Palacios.
Q.- As the Dolores is clear after the wonderful confinement of 2024, which took the incredible figure of 23 pushs, 23 remains to be known when and why were the other (attractive) livestocks, were there other options?
This is always done through voting of the partners, which once we express what livestock we would like to see, we go to the field to see the options on the ground. When we saw what they had in Prieto de la Cal and Cuadri, They come with their litter head very much for the trap of animals and because they are farmers who share the philosophy of the club and our way of understanding the bull. We always handle more options that are put in Liza in the Assembly of Partners, but out of respect for farmers who did not be chosen, we prefer to save their names. In any case you can imagine what kind of livestock we talk about, because the fan in the end is not usually so wide.
In the case of steers we always like to have different livestock that maintain genetic treasures working in the shade and therefore the inclusion of Alicia Chico At the fair. In bullfights it is easier to attract this type of livestock since taking out an entire bullfight for them is more difficult, but two steers are easier. It is a livestock that keeps a romanticism behind with that we identify. The fact of maintaining a tradition today as transhumance is a gesture that defines them.
Q.- Has the same thing happened with the coletudos, no less attractive than bicornes? Is other names be considered?
The bullfighters this year, especially the challenge of Saturday afternoon is a list not so seen in the circuit of the livestock we announce. It has been key to detect hunger in these bullfighters, and that they come to the fair with the need to really be well to enter others. We also believe that they understand our project and will be generous with bulls, and on the other hand they have enough fighting training to solve difficulties and raise tasks with the basis of emotion.
How is it logical, Damián Castaño He has earned Sunday’s deed these years at our fair and in squares such as Madrid or Bilbao. Maintains an idyll with the
Livestock of Dolores Aguirre who today cannot match anyone. I wish the bet is well because it is a real deed. As for the bullfighters, Andrades He is the only Jesús de la Calzada He demonstrated last year that he is prepared to deal with all kinds of steer, especially after his performance in Céret.
This year we have had many proposals from other bullfighters and also some that decline the offer for different reasons. For example, Morenito de Aranda, To tell you one that has been public for Saturday’s challenge and that is at a great moment of his career and last year we really liked his predisposition and attitude. But surely it ends up returning some other year.
Q.- In the organizational aspect I suppose you try to draw positive conclusions from one year to another. Is that so?
Indeed and that is why we wait for all fans this year in San Agustín, that we have a very serious fair and that we organize everything with the illusion that the fans like. Of course, we are improving and learning from errors every year, because in the end we do not cease to be fans that for a weekend we organize a fair where we value the true essence of bullfighting, which is the bull, respect for the animal and its show in all thirds, especially in the today of today. Hopefully this year the fans will fill the square.
