“Memorable afternoon for two reasons: because the bullfighting relationships between two peoples who love each other resume, and because in it the ‘cyclone’ has blown overwhelming.” Thus ended the chronicle signed by Sabau, correspondent of ABC in Mexico, on February 27, 1951, … about what happened in the world’s largest square in one of the three celebrations. The sales and the monumental of Barcelona were the others, which were organized at the same time to enter into the agreement between the bullfighters of both countries.
During the Civil War, bullfighting relations between Spain and Mexico broke, nor the Spanish right -handed could fight in Mexican squares and vice versa. The situation remained until 1944 with an agreement that opened the doors, but three years later the ties were broken again. Luis Miguel Dominguín, Manolete and Carlos Arruza, in the eye of that new hurricane that was not placed until 1951.
On Sunday, February 25, peace was formalized among the bullfighters of both countries. The Festival of Concord was called the final agreement that opened the cosos of Spain and Mexico to all right -handers. And to commemorate the step forward, runs were scheduled in sales, the monumental of Barcelona and Mexico, combining bullfighters of both nationalities, presenting the large sand allusive to La Paz signed.
The most artistic thing was lived in the American Square, where Curro Caro, Carlos Arruza and Antonio Velázquez. “Fifty -five thousand people went crazy by cheating the ‘Cyclone’ (Carlos Arruza) on a delusional afternoon.” It was the highlight of the triple day. ABC account that in Madrid “he shone from the Concord party was dull by snowflakes and the intense cold cold.”
«The bull public is cold. In football a snowfall endures, but in the bulls, no. Sun and heat put almost as much as bulls and bullfighters; Wind and cold they take everything, ”Giraldillo wrote in his chronicle, which highlighted the disposition of Rafael Ortega, the bullfight of Manuel Escudero and the disappointment by Mexican Antonio Toscano, who was wondering the critic if« it was the same the same who in 1946 was surprised by the lawsuit in full triumph, especially in Sevillian Maestranza ». Five bulls of Moreno Yagüe and one of lumps were dealt with that afternoon.
In Barcelona, Rafael Llorente, Antonio Caro and Juan Silveti acted, with cattle from Marceliano Rodríguez. Llorente was the winner when cutting two ears to the room.
A day marked by the cold in the two Spanish squares and the warmth of the “Long live Spain!” And “Long live Mexico!” that were repeated in the American afternoon.
From that moment everything flowed normally up to six years later with a new conflict in a relationship between the bullfighting of the two countries that has always been dotted with problems.
