Fourth bull: Harnero
The ring was watered down and Ferrera rested from the first three bulls. The fourth came out, a dripping 520-pound red that came out loose and elusive from the first punch. He is the least ‘Miura’ bull of bullfighting in the making. From the second punch, he spat instantly and went back and forth from horse to horse until he had taken a yard in the fifth. The bull protests in banderillas. It goes through the kickstand, although without transmission at first. The bull has arrived and Ferrera has now achieved some of the best moments for the good python. Pamplona resounds. Very well Ferrera again in a new batch and well the bull, which repeated. Ferrera adorns himself with the crutch, quotes the bull with distance and that of Miura is torn off. Kill when reaching the walking bull more than 10 meters away. Opposite slot. Chess with stitching. He lost his ear. Palms and greetings from the third.

Pamplona’s last tail belonged to Ferrera
Antonio Ferrera is still the last bullfighter to have obtained the highest trophies for a bull. He reached it on July 14, 2006, in an epic afternoon with Victorino Martín’s bull “Hebijón”. It was his second big door after the one he made in 2002.

Go out on shoulders with Miura in Pamplona

First confinement in Pamplona
For the first time in Pamplona, a single bullfighter will kill six bulls and they will also come from the legendary Miura Ranch. It’s one of the great feats of the season. The only precedent was achieved by Manolo de los Reyes on April 2, 1978 with bulls from María Coronel.

Antonio Ferrera’s gesture with Mecca
Antonio Ferrera will face all the bullfighting of Miura alone and will give all his emoluments to the Casa de Misericordia. A unique gesture in a privileged moment. In addition to the centenary of the square, the Mecca of Pamplona, the asylum, has suffered greatly from the two long years of the pandemic.
