Seville, two days before the Resurrection Sunday paseíllo

Seville, two days before the Resurrection Sunday paseíllo, enters that familiar build-up where everything starts to take shape. The Maestranza is ready to open the season with a strong lineup: Morante de la Puebla, Roca Rey and David de Miranda, facing bulls from Garcigrande.

Only a few hours remain until April 5 marks the return of bullfighting to Seville. In this piece, we look at what this date represents and why it draws so much attention even days in advance.

The opening of the season at La Maestranza

Resurrection Sunday is not just another date on the calendar. It is the first major event of the year at the Real Maestranza, the starting point of a season that always looks to Seville as a reference.

The lineup reflects that level of demand. Morante de la Puebla returns to a ring where every detail of his style finds resonance. Roca Rey arrives as one of the names with the strongest pull at the box office. And David de Miranda steps into a high-responsibility opportunity on a day that never goes unnoticed. Opposite them, bulls from Garcigrande, a regular presence in major occasions.

Seville is already in motion. The surroundings of the bullring begin to fill, conversations turn toward Sunday, and everything leads to that first paseíllo.

The wait that defines the build-up

With two days to go, the atmosphere feels familiar to any fan. It is not just expectation, but that mix of excitement and caution that comes with major occasions.

Several elements help explain this moment:

The proximity of the date: the calendar tightens and all focus turns to Sunday
The weight of the lineup: names expected to deliver in a demanding arena
The atmosphere in the city: Seville once again looks to La Maestranza as its focal point
The start of the season: what happens here will echo in the weeks ahead

Everything comes together in a single afternoon that sets the tone.

All set for the paseíllo

The Resurrection Sunday bullfight marks the real start of the season in Seville. From there, the calendar will move forward, but this first date carries its own identity.

Two days remain. Time for anticipation, final preparations and a close eye on the ring.

Seville is about to raise the curtain.
