During the Fallas festival, Valencia once again fires the starting gun for the major bullfighting fairs of the season. A season ticket series that brings together the very best of the rankings: established stars, recent arrivals and those who are clearly destined to shape the future. All of this is combined with taste and sound judgement.

Rarely have so many young talents with such strong credentials come together as those who will step into the ring this March at the bullring on Calle Xàtiva. Here we introduce their achievements and backgrounds. Keep an eye on them — you’ve been warned.
The history of the July Fair, which dates back to the 19th century, is more than just a bullfighting event; it is a manifestation of Valencian identity.
