José Antonio Morante de la Puebla will return this resurrection Sunday to the Plaza de la Maestranza a year and one day after his last performance, on April 19, 2024.
Once again, the right -hander will be the protagonist of the opening celebration of the season in Seville, and this time he will do the walk accompanied by Alejandro Talavante and Daniel Luque, and the bulls that will be dealt with belong to the livestock of Núñez del Cuvillo.
As usual, the Coso will show off the “There are no bills” poster; And this year, with more reason, because Morante could not go to his appointment at the San Miguel Fair, on September 29, and for long months the doubts have been maintained about his total restoration that would allow his return to the ring.
The bullfighter suffers a serious personality disorder that in 2024 forced him to suspend his calendar up to three times. The first, on March 17 and reappeared on Easter Sunday in Seville; The second, on June 7 and returned on July 23 in Santander, and the third, announced its withdrawal on September 11, although its last performance was in Palencia on August 31.
He could not fulfill his commitment in San Miguel, and was replaced by Pablo Aguado; During the winter he submitted in Portugal to a new treatment that has allowed him, for the moment, to go to his first contracts in 2025.
Thus, it was announced on March 8 at the Olivenza Fair, but the run was suspended by the rain. He finally reappeared on the 29th of the same month in the Extremadura town of Almendralejo and cut the two ears to one of his bulls; Subsequently, he was cheered in his appearance at the Castellón Fair, and triumphed again on April 5 in the Plaza Madrid of Morazal.
This Sunday will be the first of the five runs that Morante has hired at the April 2025
