Events at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid have included both competitive challenges and commemorative tributes. In mid-September 2026, matador Alberto Lamelas received a lap of honor following a crowd petition during a breeders’ challenge involving bulls from the Valdellán and Juan Luis Fraile ranches.

By October 2026, the venue hosted the Gran Corrida de la Hispanidad, a special tribute to the autonomous city of Ceuta. This event featured decorations using Ceuta’s flag colors and musical performances by the Asociación Cultural Banda de Música Ciudad de Ceuta, with matadors including Morante de la Puebla, Héctor Gutiérrez, and Aarón Palacio.
