Una tarde para la historia en Las Ventas: Ferrera y Román elevan el toreo a la cumbre
Los dos toreros salieron a hombros por la Puerta Grande en una jornada apasionante, ante una corrida brava, encastada, fiera y muy dificultosa de Adolfo Martín
On October 11, 2026, Las Ventas' eighth Feria de Otoño event became a historic evening in the world of bullfighting. The corrida, featuring top-tier toreros Martín/Ferrera and Román, is being hailed as one of the most electrifying performances of the year, if not the decade.
Antonio Ferrera and Román delivered performances that were not only technically flawless but also emotionally gripping. Ferrera showcased his mastery with a pinchazo and a nearly complete estocada (stab), both timed perfectly to create suspense. He received a severe blow on the ear, but his determination remained undiminished. Román, on the other hand, displayed his versatility with a powerful estocada behind the bull's shoulder, followed by a nearly complete desprendida (pull) on the ear.
He then executed a well-timed aviso (warning) and finished with a descabello (stallion's descent) on the ear.
The crowd, packed to capacity with 22,964 enthusiastic spectators, was left in awe of the toros de Adolfo Martín. Their performances were deemed so exceptional that they elevated the art of bullfighting to new heights, placing tauromaquia firmly at the pinnacle.
