There are only 222 days left until the party overwhelms Pamplona. There are 31 weeks until the chupinazo fills the streets with noise, joy and bulls. It’s November 26 and the House of Mercy has done it again: rising earlier than any company and making a choice … The cattle that will be fought at the San Fermin Show 2026. There are only seven months left and the fans already know that in the Monumental Pamplona and in the streets of the Navarrese capital the same irons that were announced last season will be on display.
True to its tradition, there is no shortage of names grabbing prizes at the Bull Fair. Badge with a rising seal, Escolar, the grays who graze in Lanzaheta, won the coveted trophy. The brave Cardinos unleashed an emotional storm, one caused by social class, a storm of latent danger. Those are the true roots of bullfighting. Since the morning confinement, they spread terror when Calligero and Cartero ran wild and attacked the human wall.
Miraculously, there was no goring, but in the afternoon they sold their lives again and Rafaelio ended up in the intensive care unit with eight broken ribs after Juan de Castilla had a terrible accident when he went in to kill. The bullfighters and waiters will never forget the very high tension afternoon 12-J and it will be one of the most anticipated times when San Fermines starts.
And they can’t miss the Jandilla Honor – Historico Honor – or the Cebada Gago – the Lioso Honor – ex aequo winners of the Carriquiri Award for Best Bull in the Navarrese Series.
The cattle ranch dedicated to bullfighting on foot was completed by irons from Fuente Embro, Miura, La Palmusilla, Victorano del Río, and Álvaro Nuñez, and is the cattle ranch where Morante de la Puebla first opened the Puerta del Ensiero. Specifically, Nuñez spoke briefly and rightly on RTVE to give real importance to bullfighting: “All this interest in bullfighting is great, but I demand the same for bullfighting, because the only purpose of the bull is to fight.” “For us, cattle breeders, the main thing is bullfighting,” he added. Because the bullfighter controls the bull, he does not run away from it, but rather stays still and creates art.
In statements to ABC, Escolar also clearly stated that “without bullfighting there is no bullfighting.” He added: “I love bullfighting and I am proud that I come from a town where there has been bullfighting all my life, but without bullfighting there is no bullfighting.” With me, at least, it doesn’t count; Of course, I won’t take my bulls.
This is the list of cattle that will be displayed in Corrales del Gaz, will pass through Estafeta and will show their courage in the monumental Pamplona: La Palmozilla (from Tarifa), Fuente Embro (from San José del Valle), Álvaro Nuñez, Jandilla (from Mérida), José Escolar (from Lanzaheta), Cebada Gajo (from the city of Sidonia), Victoriano del Río (from Guadalix de la Sierra) and Miura (from Lora del Rio).
In the case of bullfighting, the Navarra cattle ranch of Pincha, which fought a prominent group this year, was chosen again. For rejones: Murubes of Salamanca of Capea and Carmen Lorenzo, collateral.
