Ignacio Candelas, the Malaga native who will be at the horse novillada of the Malaga Fair

The second of the names to be announced at the upcoming Málaga bullfighting fair is now known. Ignacio Candelas will be the local participant featured in the poster for the novillada with picadors that will take place during the August subscription, where López Ortega, who will debut with bulls from Castoreño as the winner of last year's International Taurine Schools Contest at La Malagueta, already had a spot.

Candelas was the name proposed by the Provincial Council, as the owner of the bullring, in accordance with the terms set out in the tender document for the venue, to act in the picadors' novillada, as confirmed by consulted sources.

The young bullfighter from Ronda, who debuted with horses in July last year in La Solana (Ciudad Real), is an up-and-coming novillero who has recently achieved successes in arenas such as La Línea de la Concepción or Ubrique, and last March he pardoned a bull from Fermín Bohórquez in a Marbella event of the Andalusian Circuit of Novilladas.

Alternates

In case the young swordsman from Ronda withdraws for any reason, the first alternate is the novillero from Carratraca, Francisco Morales, and the second is Julio Alguiar, born in Peru but trained at the Provincial Taurine School of Málaga.

Additionally, it is planned that next Monday a draw will take place among the novilleros with horses from Málaga who have expressed their intention to participate, to be included in the novillada that Lances de Futuro must give in compliance with the tender at a festival to be held in a different arena from La Malagueta, as the sources added.
