San Isidro Fair: Añejo bullfighting, modern audience | Culture

The run had aroused an enormous expectation -a new poster of ‘There are no bills -but the bulls, and also the bullfighters, broke all hints of hope. The first, due to their meekness and tasteless nobility, and those of lights, because another afternoon was missing to step more, and not throw only ex officio to solve uncomfortable and insufficient ballots for the rapid triumph.

But in the almost two and a half hours of run, there were moments for the recreation of classical bullfighting, Añejo, from another era already practically missing. And he emerged from the dolls of a veteran bullfighter, raised at the bullfighting school of the 90s, with many bulls behind him and a vivid experience granted by the title of teacher.

Jose Ignacio Uceda Leal will turn 30 as a bullfighter in October 2026, it seems that today has been his number 73 in sales, and although there is little in the arena the trade is noticed, how the true bullfight has assimilated and, with droppers, he showed it again this afternoon.

He gave the public the work of the room, to which the crutch task began with two lengths helped and a disdain pass that made illusions to shelter. The nobility of the animal allowed a short batch of crutches with the right hand little tight, and another, posterior, of natural, a couple of them long and temperate. Helps by bass and final ornaments gave way to an effective lunge something fallen that allowed him to walk an ear. A trophy, perhaps, of little weight, but it is true that Uceda’s work, if not complete, was the expression of classicism, because of its way of walking through the face of the bull, because of the way of moving the deception, for its serenity … it lacked tight, but there was its bullfighter founded in so many years of profession. Torientía that he could not show in his first, very bland, before which he did not expose anything, always defensive, and who killed again effectively.

Daniel Luque, all knowledge, faced in the first place, to a dazzled bull of deaf danger, bland and incierty attack and medium height, with which he was only correct and sufficient. Raúl Caricol and Jesús Crga greeted after a brilliant third of flags, and Juan Contreras was also applauded after pairing to the fifth, long -distance at the start of crutch, but quickly disrepted. Luque knew how to be solvent, without his work getting the flight because the killer did not say what was expected and because the bull deflated.

And to point was Emilio Just to listen to the third notice before the Sixth Over, the most entered to half the crutch, which the right -handed elongated unnecessarily in the search for a triumph that prevented the sosería of his opponent. A task from more to less, provided to the public in the general belief that it would maintain the mobility it showed in flags. But not. On the knees he started just the task, and could only give two right ones because the bull’s caste forced him to recover the verticality; The illusion lasted very little, and the time was long, so much that only a few seconds were missing for the overwrite to return to the corral. With five very acceptable Veronic, he received the third, and long initial crutches with the flexed leg, and again the absence of greed made the rest.

Luque, from Justo and Uceda himself opted for the bullfighting, without crossing hardly, and hunger joined the desire to eat so that the run was a boredom with the classicism notes of the most veteran.

And the public? The most modern of the celebration. With no reason to justify it, with the exception of the first bull, all the others were fired with palms. Because? Nothing is known. Only the fifth fulfilled in rods, and all wandered calm and lack of caste in the final third. What came, then, those affectionate farewells?
