The one scheduled for this Saturday will be fought by José Antonio Lavado, Miguelito and Trigueros, the first bullfighter in the region to appear
The Calasparra Rice Fair and the traditional running of the bulls will bring color to the streets of the Northwest Municipality after two years without being able to hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. The most important bullfighting fair in the Murcia region and one of the most prestigious in Spain this year will be held in a portable arena, as was the case with the Santos bullfight in July.
The fair and the bull run will start this Saturday with a bullfight with heifers from Barcial, which will be fought by José Antonio Lavado, Miguelito and José María Trigueros, the first novillero from the region of Murcia to appear in the entry. This will be the first of six picador bullfights in a cycle that runs through September 8.
Tomorrow there will be a herd change and the initially announced Miura horns will not be treated. José Rojo, Pedro Gallego and Diego García will finally face a bull run through Daniel Ramos’ Castellón cattle ranch. On Monday, September 5, it will be the turn of the Saltillo oxen for El Chorlo, Cristian Pérez and José Antonio Valencia. On Tuesday, 6 perform with oxen from El Pincha, Jorge Molina, Niño de las Monjas and Marcos Linares. On Wednesday, September 7, Prieto de la Cal’s oxen will ride and Gómez Valenzuela, Víctor Cerrato and Miguel Andrade will do the paseo. The novillada that will put the finishing touches to the fair will take the iron from Fuente Ymbro and will be handled by a shortlist made up of Sergio Felipe and the Murcians Jorge Martínez and Víctor Acebo.
The novilladas start at 5:30 PM, while the Running of the Bulls, with the bulls that will be fought every afternoon, will be at 10:00 AM, with a race that starts from Plaza de la Constitución, continues through Calle Mayor, Calle Lavador and Calle Ordóñez until it ends at the bullring.
During the holidays, the bullfighting associations of the municipality organize various activities. The bullfighting association El Quiet de Calasparra celebrates its bullfighting aperitifs at one o’clock in the afternoon at the Casa de Cultura, focusing this year on the tributes to the farmers of Saltillo, Joaquín Moreno Silva and Tomás Prieto de la Cal, at 5 p.m. respectively. and 7, and the recognition of its partners Pedro Ruiz Corbalán and Julián Alcaraz, on the 8th.
For its part, the Calasparra Bullfighting Club will hold its traditional gatherings once the festivities are over, in addition to awarding the ‘Golden Spike’ trophy to the fair’s winning bullfighter, which will be awarded on the 8th, as soon as the last bullfight of the fertilizer.
