Corpus Christi in Seville: Morante leads the big bet for 2026

José María Garzón is already working at full capacity on putting together the Real Maestranza's season lineup, now that Morante de la Puebla has given the green light for his return. In this context, the Corpus Christi bullfight in Seville becomes one of the cornerstones of the Seville-based businessman's new project.

The schedule will be officially presented on February 9th at a gala held at the Cartuja Center. It will be then that the details of a season heavily marked by the return of the bullfighter from La Puebla and by the clear intention to restore prominence to dates steeped in history will be revealed.

Morante de la Puebla will appear on four afternoons, including the Corpus Christi bullfight, one of the season's major new additions. Together with José María Garzón, the bullfighter has sought to revitalize a day that had lost its luster in recent years, opting for a lineup with a distinctly artistic flair to restore Corpus Christi to its rightful place within the Seville Fair.

According to sources close to the public, Morante will share the bill that day with Juan Ortega and Pablo Aguado, a combination that resonates with Seville's bullfighting aficionados. Regarding the livestock, the ranches of Hermanos García Jiménez and Domingo Hernández are being considered.

Beyond the Corpus Christi bullfight in Seville, Garzón has already secured Morante's return on Easter Sunday, another highlight of his debut as the arena's manager. This highly anticipated bullfight will feature the renowned bullfighter from Cigarrero alongside Roca Rey and David de Miranda, the latter being the only matador to exit through the Puerta del Príncipe (Prince's Gate) in 2025. The bulls for this event will be from the Garcigrande ranch.
