The Coliseo Balear will host two bullfights on July 30 and August 6 featuring prominent figures, in the evening. Morante de la Puebla opens the cycle and Roca Rey closes the second day.
The Coliseo Balear in Palma de Mallorca has confirmed its bullfighting schedule for this summer with two night bullfights that will bring together some of the most prominent figures in current bullfighting. The company Funtausa has designed a short but intense cycle, with events scheduled for July 30 and August 6, both at 21:00 hours.
The first event will be led by Morante de la Puebla, who is not a regular presence in the Mallorca arena and whose performance generates great anticipation among fans. He will be joined by horseman Diego Ventura and matador Sebastián Castella. The bulls will come from the breeders Ángel Sánchez y Sánchez and Juan Pedro Domecq.
The second lineup, scheduled for August 6, includes José María Manzanares, Alejandro Talavante, and Andrés Roca Rey, who will fight bulls from Núñez del Cuvillo. This combination of classic figures promises a high-level bullfight, with Roca Rey as the main attraction following his consolidation in the rings.
The managing company has opted to reduce the number of events compared to previous seasons and focus on strong combinations that attract both local audiences and tourists visiting the island during the peak summer season. The night schedule, a hallmark of the Coliseo Balear, aims to avoid high daytime temperatures and create a relaxed atmosphere.
The first lineup mixes horse riding and foot bullfighting, a formula that tends to work well in venues with diverse audiences. Diego Ventura brings equestrian spectacle, while Sebastián Castella offers solidity. Morante de la Puebla, for his part, is the great artistic attraction of the night.
The second bullfight features a trio of classic figures, with Manzanares as the technically refined bullfighter, Talavante as the specialist in emotions, and Roca Rey as the young talent capturing the audience's attention. The Núñez del Cuvillo bulls, known for their seriousness and play, add an extra layer of interest.
The Coliseo Balear is not a typical venue within the Spanish bullfighting circuit. Its location in the heart of Palma city, the diverse audience it attracts in summer, and the night schedule make it a unique setting. The company is confident that the chosen lineups will fill the stands and maintain interest in bullfighting in the islands.
For Mallorcan fans, these two events represent an opportunity to see bullfighters who rarely perform on the island. Morante de la Puebla, in particular, is a figure that stirs passions and whose artistic bullfighting aligns with the profile of an audience seeking something beyond mere spectacle.
Tickets for both bullfights are already on sale at the Coliseo Balear box office and through official channels. Prices vary according to location, with discounts for subscribers and young people. High demand is expected, especially for the second event, which features three top-level figures.
The Palma fair thus joins the summer programming of venues like El Puerto de Santa María or Huelva, but with its own stamp: a short, night cycle with impressive lineups. For the residents of the Balearic capital, it is a classic summer event that this year regains momentum after irregular seasons.
