Arenal Marbella Toros reaches agreement with Morante de la Puebla: the maestro set for a double appearance in Marbella

The Marbella bullring will once again feature Morante de la Puebla on two key dates. Arenal Marbella Toros has secured his presence for a double appearance, strengthening the importance of the season at this venue.

In this article, we take a closer look at when he will perform, what this double booking means within the calendar, and how it fits into the ongoing development of the bullring.

The company Arenal Marbella Toros (Fermín Bohórquez, José María Pacheco, Iván Bohórquez, Miguel Báez ‘Litri’, Raúl Gracia ‘El Tato’ and Jorge Cutiño) has confirmed two dates for the bullfighter from La Puebla del Río. Morante will appear on June 13 and August 7. The August event will mark the return of the ‘Candiles Bullfight’, held at night with its distinctive staging, while the June date is part of the Marbella Fair.

Morante already made a strong impact in Marbella last season. He achieved a sold-out crowd for the first time in 41 years and cut two ears and a tail from a Garcigrande bull in a memorable performance. That event was also broadcast live on Canal Sur, reaching a 20.7% share, an uncommon figure for bullfighting broadcasts.

Arenal Marbella Toros began its work in Marbella in 2024, after the bullring had remained closed for a decade, with the aim of restoring its prominence during the summer season. This double appearance by Morante follows that direction: to consolidate the project and reinforce the appeal of the season, both for local fans and for those spending their holidays on the Costa del Sol.

In short, Marbella once again relies on one of bullfighting’s most distinctive figures to headline two of its main dates. At Taquillaoficial.com, you can find a variety of bullfighting tickets available for Marbella and other major events of the season.
