Morante de la Puebla has once again demonstrated his commitment to bullfighting and to his neighbors in La Puebla del Río by organizing the largest program in the history of bullfighting in the cigar town that he himself devised ten years ago. This Thursday he presented them together with the mayor of the town, the independent Lola Prósper, giving officiality to some celebrations that were already announced exclusively by ABC of Seville that will once again feature the figure of the great genius of bullfighting as the central axis. Among the novelties of this edition are the expansion of a second bullfight, a contest for prestigious livestock farms, the broadcast of Canal Sur, the incorporation of the Banda Tejera and the incentive of the prize of appearing in the Maestranza for the successful bullfighter.
The bullfights will feature the winners of the main bullfighting schools in Spain and Portugal, as well as the local promise of Manuel Luque ‘El Exquisito’, who will perform out of competition since he has already bullfighted in the Maestranza promotion bullfights. Both celebrations will be televised by Canal Sur and, as on previous occasions, there will be the release of heifers and a children’s bull run for the little ones. The advertising poster is the work of the artist José Tomás Pérez Indiano.
