Madrid's Las Ventas hosts San Isidro bullfighting with Román's Puerta Grande
The Feria de San Isidro bullfighting festival continued at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid on 6‑7 June 2026, drawing thousands of spectators.
Román secured the Puerta Grande, receiving two ears after a demanding fight with a Victorino Martín bull. Fellow matadors Morenito de Aranda and Fernando Adrián also performed, with mixed results.
Attendance was forecast at over 23,000 for the 7 June corrida, contributing to an estimated half‑million spectators across May‑June. Ticket prices ranged from €48 to €244, and the event was broadcast live on TLMad and made available on‑demand.
A dramatic incident saw torero Clemente narrowly avoid serious injury when a bull’s horn pierced his cape, described as a “miraculous” escape.
