h1>Valencia recovers its July Fair with a star-studded cycle: Roca Rey doubles up in July and October, where he will appear with Morante and Rufo

The 2026 Valencia July Fair is now a reality. The city recovers one of its traditional cycles after last year’s forced break due to renovation work on the bullring’s lighting system.

The fair was presented in the bullring on Calle Xàtiva, in an event led by Rafael García Garrido, president of Espacios Nautalia. The cycle brings together leading figures, young names and Valencian representation.

Roca Rey, the main name of Valencia’s season

Andrés Roca Rey will be one of the main attractions, with two appearances in Valencia in 2026.

His first paseíllo will be on Friday, July 17, alongside Alejandro Talavante and José María Manzanares, with bulls from Juan Pedro Domecq.

His second appearance will come during the October Fair, on October 9, in a major cartel with Morante de la Puebla and Tomás Rufo, facing bulls from Álvaro Núñez.

A fair with figures, youth and Valencian presence

The cycle combines established names with young bullfighters and novilleros who represent the next generation.
