Morante de la Puebla suffers a severe goring and has his cock cut off on a magical night in Marbella.

The Corrida de Candiles, which took place this Friday night in Marbella, was a resounding success in every aspect; bullfighters Morante de la Puebla, Juan Ortega, and Pablo Aguado cut off a total of six ears and a tail. However, it wasn't so much the final result that mattered, but rather the night of artistic bullfighting they delivered in the Marbella bullring, which was sold out more than forty years after the last one.
Morante de la Puebla's season has been unforgettable. It's a luxury to be able to watch him fight, enjoy his style, and experience it in the bullring. The bullfighter from La Puebla enjoys bullfighting and makes us fans enjoy it like never before. With the fourth bull of the afternoon , he received it on his knees , continuing to perform verónicas, swinging his cape, citing with his flights, stopping time, and drawing applause from the audience.
With the muleta, he began with high passes on his knees, bringing the audience to their feet and finishing low. The first series with his right hand was very low, very relaxed, forgetting about his body, letting himself go, and passing it very close.
With his left hand, the bull protested a lot; it had to be done one at a time, leaving the muleta dead in front of its face, and citing it with a light touch of the muleta. The animal warned him from the start of the faena until a powerful somersault arrived, from which the Sevillian emerged battered but enraged, going right up to the bull's face and lacing it with a very low series of passes, stopping time and bringing the audience to their feet.

With his first bull of the night, the bullfighter from La Puebla greeted him with verónicas, although the Garcigrande came out very distracted. He gave the bull a toast to Fermín Bohórquez and began the faena with the muleta high, with great bullfighting skill, stillness, and exquisite composure. The bull was not an easy bull, but the Sevillian gave it his all with both hands, extracting the passes one by one, very much like a bullfighter, despite the fact that the bull always let go of its head at the end of each pass. A failure with the sword prevented him from cutting any prizes.
Juan Ortega's performance with the second bull of the afternoon was a display of exquisite composure , bullfighting skill, class, and naturalness. The cape's veronicas were a prelude to what was to come: low-handed veronicas, swaying the cape's flight and stopping time.
After the bull passed the horse, Pablo Aguado performed a chicuelina pass with low hands, twisting his cape with exquisite smoothness. Juan responded with tafalleras, leading the bull with a well-engaged and engaging touch, using the flight of his cape to finish with one hand, twisting his cape around his neck.
He dedicated his work to maestro Paco Ojeda and began the faena close to the boards, his knee bent and high, emerging from the third, with a bullfighting flair, finishing low. Ortega's masterpiece was based on poise, naturalness, and the exquisite beauty of each of the passes he delivered to the Garcigrande bullfighter. He closed the faena with manoletinas, his knee bent and his chest to the bull, quoting him head-on and getting the audience to rise from their seats.
The fifth bull of the night didn't allow Ortega to fully unleash his talent, as we saw from the second bull of the night. Loose details filled with poise against an animal that didn't make things easy for him, struggling hard on the left horn, and coming up short in the charge.
Pablo Aguado was unlucky with his bulls, unable to stretch out with the cape. His first bull was too short, so he opted to hook it with the flights and bring it out into the third, finishing with a beautiful half pass.
He began his faena with the muleta sitting in the stirrup, with high passes, very bullfighting, and then coming out to the center of the ring, bullfighting from below with very bullfighting finishes. He demanded a lot from the bull on the right horn, lowering his hand, performing with exquisite naturalness, filling the stage and raising cheers from the audience. Pablo's bullfighting has something that captivates and enthralls you ; it's not just any bullfighting.
The sixth bull was the black sheep of the bullfight, its horn broke and it remained very reserved and, despite the protests of the public, it did not return and although Aguado tried, the public asked him to shorten the façade and finish the Garcigrande bull.
Six Garcigrande bulls , well presented and generally performing well, with the second bull standing out as the best of the night.
