San Isidro Fair 2026 – Fourth subscription event

First subscription novillada at Las Ventas

Tuesday 12 May | Novillada with picadores

San Isidro is also written in the language of the future.

The San Isidro Bullfighting Fair is not only a showcase for the great stars. Above all, it is the stage where the future of bullfighting is born.

The subscription novilladas play a key role within the cycle, as they test young hopefuls in the most demanding bullring in the world.

Madrid gives nothing away.

Anyone who stands out at Las Ventas proves they have courage, technique, personality and depth to aspire to something great. That is why attending a San Isidro novillada means witnessing the first steps of the bullfighters who may define an era tomorrow.

On Tuesday 12 May, the fourth event of the season ticket series brings the first novillada of San Isidro 2026, a date closely followed by both aficionados and professionals.

The line-up for Tuesday 12 May: youth under examination

For this novillada, novillos from Montealto are announced, a breeding farm regularly entrusted with high-responsibility events, known for its seriousness, good quality when the bulls charge with class, and for demanding correct positioning and firmness from the novilleros.

The bill brings together three young talents with ambition and clearly defined styles:

• Tomás Bastos, a novillero with personality and courage, who arrives in Madrid fully aware of the importance of this opportunity to take a decisive step in his career.

• Martín Morilla, a bullfighter of classical concept and fine expression, with a style based on composure and taste, highly appreciated by the discerning aficionado.

• Álvaro Serrano, a young prospect with training and ambition, who faces Las Ventas as the ideal stage to prove he is ready for greater challenges.

A trio playing for far more than an immediate result: credibility, future and a place in the profession.

Why are novilladas at Las Ventas during San Isidro so important? And why should you go?

Because here there are no half measures:

• It is the toughest showcase for young bullfighters.

• You see bullfighting without a safety net, driven by hunger and truth.

• Many of today’s leading figures first made their mark here.

• The atmosphere created by the Madrid crowd turns every pass into an examination.

Watching a novillada at Las Ventas during San Isidro is understanding how a career is built from the ground up.
