Cattle: six
bulls of Victorino Martín, well presented, easily faced some of them. The two first were dangerous; third and fourth, lacklustre; the fifth was a noble and boring one, and the last bull was a thoroughbred one, a four aged and good bull with the muleta, the best bull of the last bullfight of Sanfermines. This bull, called Hebijón, was unjustifiably prized with a go around to the ring that anybody asked for.
Pepín Liria: Silence after a warning and waves from the stage
Luis Miguel Encabo: Silence and waves
Antonio Ferrera: Waves from the stage alter a request of an ear, and two ears and a bull tail
President:
José Javier López, with the advice of Andrés Arriaga and Ignacio Usechi. He did wrongly his labour, he took no notice of their advices and demonstrated his total ignorance of the subject showing the coloured scarves.
Only when he listened to his advisers, the bullfight went by correctly; for example in the minority request for the ear in the third bull, and in the correct change of stage of banderillas in the sixth bull in order to avert any tragedy with the bullfighter.
Incidences: The bullring was full. It was a sunny and oppressive hot evening. Antonio Ferrera was gored by the third bull, Murriano, with 8 centimeters in his internal side of his right thigh. He got into the sickbay and he went out to bullfight again with the sixth and the last one of the Feria, and he was gored again in the other leg. He can't got out through the main door of the bullring as he needed to be operated on both injures.
The Feria del Toro finished with a shocking bullfight, typical of a little village than of a prestigious and famous bull festival.
And this embarrassing end was owing to the president, guilty and culprit of this outrageous bullfight. When Ferrera killed Hebijón with the sword, the only good bull in the evening, people shook their scarves with strength. Hebijón was the last bull of the Feria and the 47 previous bulls weren't as brave like this to the crowd.
But the president ignored them and the advisers too. He showed two scarves one after the other, and the third later. Afterwards, he picked it up and showed it again, and he asked what colour the go around scarf was, and he found the blue one. José Javier López deserved a punishment because of his ignorance of bullfighting and his will of being the center of attention.
This punishment has to be, at least, never set foot again on a presidency box forever. The result of this kind of arrogance was the bullfight became a festival inappropriate for third class bullrings indeed.
The bull tail was more than enough, and the second ear, possibly, too, but above all the go around of the bull, a good one, that wasn't brave with the pike, speciality to know the ferocious of the animal, Mister López.
The Victorino´s bull didn´t triumph but they were better than last year. The bullfighter was interesting because the first four bulls had danger and the sixth was a thoroughbred bull.
Ferrera was nearly epic in his fight but he was a little suicidal due to his aim of success. He suffered a goring in his first bull and he tried his best in his second being gored again. There were moments of tragedy. But he put his jeans on and continued the set of passes with will and elegance. The death blow was well-aimed and precise. He won the reward to return next year to the Feria.
Pepín and Luis Miguel set against true pest and they are supposed to come back in 2007.
