Morante de la Puebla, the renowned bullfighter from La Puebla del Río, has confirmed he will be performing in Jerez de la Frontera, following his earlier commitment to appear in Sevilla. According to reports from Aplausos, Morante has reached an agreement with the Matilla company to perform at one of the venues where he had significant success last year, famously cutting a tail. This announcement comes as Jerez prepares for the upcoming Feria del Caballo, marking the first event since the loss of the iconic bullfighter from the barrio of Santiago.

The decision by Morante to perform in Jerez is especially significant as it has lifted the uncertainty surrounding the bullfighting program at the venue, which had been on hold pending his confirmation. The Matilla company, responsible for managing the venue, can now finalize the schedule, with the Jerez performance being Morante's first appearance following the Feria de Abril in Sevilla. The excitement among local fans is palpable, as Morante's presence is seen as a major boost for the local bullfighting community, particularly in light of recent changes in the roster of featured bullfighters.

This development indicates Morante's continued relevance and popularity in the bullfighting scene, and reinforces the cultural significance of bullfighting events in Spain, especially in regions with rich bullfighting traditions like Jerez. His performance is expected to attract significant attention, as fans look forward to witnessing his mastery in the ring once again. Overall, this announcement not only impacts Morante’s career but also the local cultural landscape surrounding bullfighting in the region.
