San Isidro 2026: the second novillada of the season, where the future begins

San Isidro Festival – Novillada (bullfighting event with young bulls)

San Isidro is not just a show; it is a cultural experience. Attending bullfighting events during the festival means living a tradition deeply rooted in Spanish culture. Even those who have never been to the bullring before can clearly understand here the cultural importance of bullfighting and the value of what takes place in the arena.

On Tuesday 19 May, Las Ventas will host the second novillada of the San Isidro Festival 2026 — a key date for discovering young bullfighters aiming to make their breakthrough in the most demanding bullring in the world. These afternoons are where careers are shaped, vocations are tested, and personalities are forged under maximum pressure.

Young bulls (novillos) from Fuente Ymbro will be fought, one of the most reliable breeding farms on the circuit, regularly featured in both full bullfights and high-responsibility novilladas. Their cattle are known for consistency, strength and a charging style that allows expression while still demanding technical skill, making this event a true test for the participants.

The line-up features three ambitious young bullfighters determined to leave their mark in Madrid:

• Pedro Luis, who sees this appearance as a major opportunity to showcase his style and ability against a guaranteed breed.

• Mario Vilau, a name generating growing interest among aficionados due to his projection and confident approach in the ring.

• Julio Norte, who arrives at Las Ventas aiming to confirm his progress and take a decisive step forward this season.

San Isidro novilladas hold a special value: they present bullfighting in its purest form, without safety nets, with the freshness and ambition of those fighting for their future in every pass. For many experienced fans — and also for newcomers — they are one of the most authentic gateways into the world of bullfighting.
