Event in Marbella: the 'Sold Out' sign is hung for the Corrida de Candiles

Historic milestone in Marbella. The company Arenal Marbella Toros has hung the 'Sold Out' sign this noon for the Corrida de Candiles tonight where Morante de la Puebla, Juan Ortega, and Pablo Aguado will make their entrance to face bulls from Garcigrande. The event will start at 10 PM and will be broadcast by Canal Sur Televisión.

It has been 41 years since tickets were last sold out for an event in Marbella. The last occasion was in July 1984 in a head-to-head between Paquirri and Paco Ojeda against bulls from Jandilla.

Arenal Marbella Toros took over the management of the bullring in 2024 when the arena reopened its doors after being closed for nine years. Just twelve months later, the 'Sold Out' sign is hung for an event where the bullfighter who is generating the most excitement this season, Morante de la Puebla, is announced.
