San Isidro Fair 2026 – Second subscription bullfight at Las Ventas

Saturday 9 May | Bullfight

San Isidro: every afternoon is decisive

At the San Isidro Bullfighting Fair, there are no routine afternoons. Every matador puts his prestige, his season and sometimes his future on the line. The performances that succeed in Madrid are remembered for decades; the failures are remembered too.

That tension, that level of demand and that sense of truth turn every bullfight into an unrepeatable event.

On Saturday 9 May, the second subscription bullfight of the fair fully maintains this intensity that makes each afternoon a decisive moment.

The line-up for Saturday 9 May: power, solidity and ambition

For this occasion, bulls from La Quinta are announced, a breeding farm with a strong personality, renowned for the seriousness, depth and bloodline of its bulls. They demand technique, firmness and absolute commitment from the matadors. These are bulls that give nothing away and turn every muletazo into a true examination.

Facing them is a line-up of the highest interest:

• Miguel Ángel Perera, one of the most powerful and reliable matadors of the last two decades, has opened the Puerta Grande at Las Ventas on six occasions as a matador. This places him among the active bullfighters with the most shoulder-borne exits from Madrid’s bullring.

• Daniel Luque, a complete and mature matador, capable of imposing himself through technique, authority and personality. Madrid is a key arena in his career, and San Isidro is his greatest showcase.

• Tomás Rufo, a representative of the new generation, ambitious and with a powerful concept of bullfighting, who arrives at San Isidro with both the responsibility and the excitement of continuing to establish himself as a leading figure of the future

A line-up that blends proven experience, authority and hunger for success, together with a breeding farm that raises the level of demand for the afternoon.

Why is San Isidro unique for aficionados and visitors?

• It is the toughest competition in the bullfighting world.

• It is the place where Madrid delivers its verdict.

• It is a cultural spectacle deeply linked to the city.

• It is emotion, ritual, tradition and truth concentrated every afternoon.
