Un final d'apothéose sous le déluge. Deux oreilles, la queue et vuelta au toro pour couronner une prestation héroïque de Marco Perez.

Aarón Palacio, triomphateur de l'après-midi et filleul d'Andrés Roca rey, s'impose comme une nouvelle figure.

Overview

  • Under a deluge, Marco Pérez exited the Puerta de los Consuls after cutting five ears and a tail, returning from the infirmary with his left hand sutured to finish a four‑bull solo.
  • The youth‑focused mixed corrida featured four Juan Pedro Domecq toros for Pérez and two Fuente Ymbro novillos for Olga Casado, who struggled against a disappointing lot.
  • Aarón Palacio took the alternativa on Saturday in Nîmes and left through the Puerta de los Consuls at age 20, a breakthrough on one of the feria’s showcase stages.
  • José María Manzanares withdrew after a rib injury in Murcia on September 15, and Pablo Aguado stepped in as witness for Palacio’s ceremony with Jandilla bulls on the card.
  • The program closes with La Quinta bulls for Miguel Ángel Perera, Daniel Luque and Raphaël Raucoule, capping a weekend that also honored Roca Rey’s decade since his Nîmes alternativa.
