A Series Where Roca Rey Will Appear Twice and Morante Will Be One of the Main Attractions

A series where Roca Rey will appear twice and Morante will be one of the main attractions is already shaping the 2026 San Fermín Fair. The Casa Misericordia of Pamplona has practically finalized the structure and main framework of a fair that will take place from July 5 to July 14, as usual.

A series where Roca Rey will appear twice and Morante will be one of the main attractions also brings an important change: Miura would not close the fair in this edition. That final slot would instead go to one of Roca Rey’s two appearances, pending official confirmation and with negotiations still ongoing.

The Peruvian matador will, for now, be the cornerstone of the fair. He is the only bullfighter expected to perform twice. Morante de la Puebla will also return to San Fermín with the Álvaro Núñez ranch, the same breeder with whom he achieved his first Puerta Grande in Pamplona last year. Pablo Aguado and Borja Jiménez are also expected on that bill.

Roca Rey will face bulls from Jandilla and Victoriano del Río. Those lineups are expected to include names such as Alejandro Talavante, Juan Ortega, Tomás Rufo and David de Miranda, who will debut in Pamplona after being recognized by the juries as the standout performer of Seville’s Feria de Abril.

Víctor Hernández will be another of the fair’s new additions. The Madrid-born matador is expected to appear alongside Daniel Luque and Fernando Adrián, who opened the Puerta Grande in 2025, with bulls from Fuente Ymbro.

Jesús Enrique Colombo, currently one of Pamplona’s crowd favorites, will once again appear with the Miura bulls. Manuel Escribano is also expected on that bill. This time, the Zahariche bulls would be featured on July 13.

Fortes is expected to be included with the La Palmosilla corrida following his success last year, while Juan de Castilla would be announced with José Escolar. The fair could also feature names such as Pepe Moral, with strong chances of appearing in the Miura corrida, Román, Aarón Palacio or Samuel Navalón. At this stage, Diego Ventura, Emilio de Justo and Marco Pérez would not be included in the Pamplona lineup.

The proposed 2026 San Fermín lineups, pending official confirmation and subject to possible negotiation changes, would be as follows:

• Sun 05/07: Novillada from Ganadería de Pincha
• Mon 06/07: Roberto Armendáriz, Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza and another name (Capea)
• Tue 07/07: Fortes and two others (La Palmosilla)
• Wed 08/07: Bullfight featuring Cebada Gago
• Thu 09/07: Alejandro Talavante, Roca Rey and David de Miranda (Victoriano del Río)
• Fri 10/07: Morante de la Puebla, Pablo Aguado and Borja Jiménez (Álvaro Núñez)
• Sat 11/07: Juan de Castilla and two others (José Escolar)
• Sun 12/07: Daniel Luque, Fernando Adrián and Víctor Hernández (Fuente Ymbro)
• Mon 13/07: Manuel Escribano, Jesús Enrique Colombo and possibly Pepe Moral (Miura)
• Tue 14/07: Juan Ortega, Roca Rey and Tomás Rufo (Jandilla)
