The event was presented at the La Malagueta ring, which will host the final of this circuit on June 14th, by the Director of Taurine Affairs of the Province, Borja Ortiz; the Deputy Mayor of Cortes de la Frontera, Sebastián Casillas; the businessman from África Taurina, Ángel Modesto, who manages the Cortesano arena; and the novice bullfighters El Primi and Martín, who later visited the Immersive Taurine Experiences Center (CEIT).

Support

The president of the Provincial Government, Francisco Salado, highlighted that the provincial institution has sponsored this event since its first edition and reiterated its support "for the present and future of bullfighting in the province".

In this regard, Salado recalled that the Provincial Government has renewed its agreement with the Toro de Lidia Foundation and has collaborated for the fourth consecutive year in this circuit, which is "essential for enhancing one of the weakest links of the festival, such as the novilladas with picadores".

The bullring in Cortes de la Frontera, which has a 128-year history, will celebrate a novillada with picadores after 20 years and will host an event of this circuit for the first time, also with the collaboration of the Cortes de la Frontera Town Hall and África Taurina company.

In this sense, the president of the Provincial Government highlighted the "great economic impact that this event has on the municipality and the Serranía", as well as its media impact.
