Novillero ‘El Mene’ shines in the third event of the Fallas season, leaving the arena on the shoulders of the crowd after a stellar performance. Zulueta shows flashes of quality, while Andreu struggles against a difficult lot.

The Fallas 2025 Fair continued this Sunday with a non-picador novillada, where Marco Polope, Clovis, and Ignacio Garibay stood out, managing to cut an ear against a serious batch of young bulls from José González. It was an afternoon where the aspiring matadors showcased their courage and skills, leaving moments of quality in each performance.

The 2025 Fallas Fair kicks off with a novillada featuring Talavante’s young bulls, where Aarón Palacio, Marco Pérez, and Juan Alberto Torrijos each claim an ear.
