Another bullfight in Nîmes which did not leave anyone indifferent. With a royal cartel and ideally sticking to the news, this last bullfight experienced moments of exaltation and a final decision leading aficionados to demonstrate loudly. For this lowering of the curtain, the lot of Victoriano del Río and Cortés, of good presentation, offered, with one exception, fights of a raised level, giving each quarter of an hour a sustained interest.
Currently going through a period of fullness, El Juli showed what a maestro he could still be. Faced with his first toro, with an impeccable muleta, immobility and control, a good lesson. Thereafter, less complete fight because of the behavior of the adversary.
For his return to Nîmes, a formidable sequence, knees on the ground, offered like a jewel by an inspired Alejandro Talavante, before a faena lined with precious details. And Tomás Rufo finally. After a neat and serious first fight, an explosive finale.
Surrounded by an exemplary cuadrilla, the young torero, facing a powerful and caste toro, served a faena with superb contours, with intensity and breadth, until obtaining the grace of his adversary, obtained in a climate keen.
A triumphant equestrian morning
As part of the morning equestrian rendezvous on Pentecost Monday, and in front of a large crowd gathered for the occasion, the triumph was total for the two personalities invited to the paseo and fighting mano a mano an excellent cattle of Fermín Bohórquez.
For the Nîmes rejoneadora Léa Vicens (two ears, two ears and one ear), spectacular results and particularly high-level artistic demonstrations. In each fight, control, technique and decision were his permanent assets.
For Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza (salutes, one ear and two ears), a fine morning too, with in particular an artistic bullfighting lesson on his horse Berlin.
