Huesca bullfighting festival opens with success for El Fandi and Marco Pérez

Bullfighters El Fandi and Marco Pérez achieved significant success during the opening bullfight of the Feria de La Albahaca 2026 in Huesca, Spain. Both performers earned multiple ears, leading to their exits on shoulders.

Marco Pérez delivered a strong performance, earning an ear for his work with the third bull, ‘Fogonero’, and another for his final performance with the bull ‘Palestino’. His technical skill and bravery were noted by the audience. El Fandi also received acclaim, successfully engaging with the crowd and securing his honors through precise sword work and a festive style.

Tomás Rufo had a more varied afternoon. While his initial performance was met with silence from the crowd, he managed to secure one ear during his later work, demonstrating technical proficiency despite a less cooperative bull.
