Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

The season has begun in Madrid



March 22, 2026

First bull of the year, Curandero from the Celestino Cuadri ranch. 668 kilos!

Above are photos of Curandero on the ranch, in the corrals, and then en la plaza.

As you can see this bull gave el torero Pepe Moral trouble, and as usual it seems like the first corrida of the year in Madrid never lives up to all the hype. No ears were cut, I don't think there was even much applause. 

Maybe next week.
