There are afternoons in Alicante that are called to be unforgettable. Yesterday was one of them. With a pleasant temperature and a great atmosphere in the laying and in the alley, Alicante dressed again to enjoy a great social event. José María Cano, leader and generator of Mecano, witnessed the run from the alley. Later, Talavante would give him a bull. Other faces like Pedro Trapote enjoyed a sublime show from the barrier. When a bull is pardoned, bullfighting acquires its maximum dimension of greatness. That was lived yesterday by the hand of a seasoning bullfighter who is enjoying the honeys of success: Alejandro Talavante. He has been winner in San Isidro and comes to pardon his full lot in Marbella. Yesterday in Alicante, he saw the orange scarf in his second bull, another pardon that adds to this great season.
The pardoned bull was called Gavilán and was a red specimen and bar that weighed 505 kilos. Balled with the number 209, his departure to the square did not say much. In fact, in the first bars of the task, everything passed between the comings and goings of the bull and the crutch of Talavante, which more than squeezing was tantling the onslaught of the bull of Cuvillo. But the mastery of Extremadura made him see the light and quality of the bull as the task progressed. The good deal with his crutch caused the bull to get the best inside, a background of extraordinary bravery and a great class when it comes to drinking the moleta by the two pythons. The bull and the task went to more and Talavante showed that Gavilán carried the necessary bravery to continue living.
The series were complete, the long crutches and everything below, which is where the brave bulls ram. When the public entered into communion with Talavante, white scarves began to emerge from the lying. The president told Talavante to continue fighting, without being very sure of whether the pardon was conducive or not, but the truth is that the bull lasted a barbarity and did everything with delivery, class and bravery.

Finally, the orange scarf caused the party and joy to flood the lying. Talavante pardon a bull again in the season and the Bonfire Fair rose a step in quality and triumphs.
In the first bull of the afternoon, a vast specimen in makers, Talavante cut an ear, which added to the two symbolic of the room granted the title of great winner of the afternoon.
Ortega and the class to fight
The other protagonist was the Sevillian of Triana Juan Ortega, who had a frankly intoned and inspired afternoon that the public knew how to see and celebrate. His first bull was cut an ear after a work in which everything was caress and good are to guide the poison of the bell bull. That bull was cut a weight grate.

The fifth bull came out after the hangover of Gavilán's pardon. This unknown name was the highest of the run along with the first. Ortega received it with the cape to bullfighting. Already with the crutch, Ortega did not provide and began with an old stamp bullfighting the tables. A trench loaded with flavor finished off the beginning. The bull was not left over and that was seen from the beginning. It was there that softness came on the flights of the crutch, the absence of violence and the absolute bullfighting of Ortega. For the right python, the series came loaded with class and bullfighting. The depth and long journey arrived on the left. The bull, who had good things, did not finish with his onslaught to the public, so the great merit was from Ortega, who to the sound of Nerva pasodoble, squeezed him in the final series rounding his task. An unfortunate puncture gave way to a lunge that was enough. Ortega cut another ear adding two in the afternoon.

The Cross of Marco Pérez
Marco Pérez could not go out to kill the sixth bull as a result of a crowned grenade in the left thigh and it was Talavante who stole it. The young Salamanca Matador had already set a great task to the second in the afternoon. A bull that was not easy and always hid his intention. Despite this condition, Marco Pérez really fell as if the bull were good and achieved very tight series that he finished with long chest passes giving a mature and made bullfighter feeling. However, it is already measured with bullfighting figures that are not going to make the way to follow easy. It is the price of wanting to be next to the greatest. The misfortune arrived with a tremendous somersault that Marco Pérez suffered in the epilogue of the task. The bull hooked on the left leg and turned it into the air falling ugly. Marco was shocked and at times lost his meaning, but he had the manhood and guts of recovering and, without being able to support his leg, sting his bull. He did it without strength and more with the heart than with the technique, but its value and their credit have been intact after passing through Alicante. Marco cut an ear to that bull and when he intended to go around the ring, he had to be taken by his gang to the infirmary. According to the optional part, the prognosis is reserved and the next few hours will be key to knowing the real scope of your injury.

Instead, it was Talavante who killed the bull that closed a place. It was called walk and was a bull right in presentation. Bull that came out very loose in the first measures. The bull gave José María Cano and began without probatures for the right python. The bull had a lot of mobility and repetition although it lacked depth in the onslaught. He protested and broke down as soon as he played the cloth. Work of many intermittences and with a bull without delivery.
Despite every Talavante, who is in a great moment, he looked for the turns until the end. He killed from lunge after puncture and listened to a warm ovation.
The afternoon left us the image of a large shared door of two figures, an pardoned bull and a young bullfighter caught after a very delivery task. Emotions and pain in the same show.
