Bullfighting entrepreneur Maximino Pérez receives the ‘Patrimonio Tauromaquia Ciudad de Cuenca’ Award ahead of the centenary of the city’s bullring.

Maximino Pérez addresses Cuenca’s season-ticket holders following the 2026 San Julián Fair to thank them for 27 years of loyalty, shared memories and passion. In an emotional letter, he recalls how he helped transform the fair in 1999 into one of Spain’s major bullfighting events and expresses his particular gratitude for the affection he has received this year.

Cartagena and Fernandes each cut two ears and left the Cuenca bullring on the shoulders of supporters. Ventura delivered the afternoon’s most outstanding performance but lost a greater reward with the final killing stroke.

Cuenca is counting down the days until Morante returns, with the Sevillian star scheduled to perform twice at San Julián 2026 in one of August’s major bullfighting attractions.

Maximino Pérez presents his most special fair yet in Cuenca, for many reasons. A perfectly balanced programme that guarantees the next generation of bullfighters and a new generation of management, without losing sight of the biggest names in the sport. If I were you, I wouldn’t miss it.

The official line-up for the 2026 San Julián Fair has been unveiled. Morante de la Puebla will headline two bullfights in a festival featuring many of Spain’s leading matadors.
