It is one of the most anticipated moments of this fair and it will be done with bulls from La Palmosilla; four days later, three years have passed since his goring
Since July 14, 2019, the Murcian bullfighter Rafael Rubio Luján, ‘Rafaelillo’ on the posters, has two dates in just two days to celebrate his birthday. Rafael, who saw the light in the traditional Barrio del Carmen on his big day, on Monday, July 16, 1979, was nearly killed during the last Sanfermines held in Pamplona, in 2019, before the pandemic caused by the coronavirus will paralyze the world and the capital of Navarre will no longer run the bulls in the morning and afternoon in the street and in the afternoon in the square in an intense week for its festivities in honor of San Fermín, who this year will have their normal restore noise.
It was during the final bullfight of the 2019 Bull Fair, on July 14, when a Miura eerily grabbed the Murcian as he was about to start his crutch with both knees on the ground. He speared Rafaelillo with his left python, tossing him brutally against the planks, looking for the bullfighter on the ground to rejoin the barrier. In addition to the shrouded goring in the hemithorax, which caused a pneumothorax for which he was operated on urgently in the infirmary of the square, and the rapid intervention of the doctors saved the life of the right-hander, in the ICU of the hospital In the complex of Pamplona completed the report of the serious injuries sustained, with the two ribcages destroyed. A total of seven broken ribs on the left grille and four broken and one cracked on the right grille, plus injuries to the L1 and L2 vertebrae. Rafaelillo did not set foot in a ring again until his return to Jaén, twenty months later. His improvement, both professionally and personally, is evident in this start to the 2022 season, with the Murcian emerging triumphant from the San Isidro Fair, where he cut off a bull’s ear from Adolfo Martín.
Rafaelillo’s return to Pamplona, where he will be received as a hero, is one of the events of these Sanfermines. He will do it on Sunday 10 July, in front of the bulls of La Palmosilla, with Manuel Escribano and Leo Valadez. Four days later, on the 14th, it will be three years since that brutal fuck took place. The date of Rafaelillo’s second birthday.
As for the bullfighters of the region, not only Rafaelillo will star in these sanfermines. Paco Ureña will be announced on Wednesday the 13th in the bullfight Victoriano del Río, with a strong poster, sharing a shortlist with Miguel Ángel Perera and Peruvian Andrés Roca Rey. The Pamplona arena is one of the most important in the career of Lorca’s bullfighter and in his ring he has achieved important triumphs, including leaving the front door in 2015, some drenched in blood, such as his last appearance in 2018, in which he ran one ear and sustained a six-inch tear on the thigh. In 2019 he was absent and in this return of the Sanfermines, Ureña returns to Pamplona to justify himself.
The third Murcian at the Bull Fair, the bullfighter from Totana Jorge Martínez, opened the entry festivities last Tuesday, leaving very good feelings in a performance that had its weakness in handling steel, which left its interesting handling of fabrics.
