The Nîmes bullfighter opened the main gate of the Villarobledo bullring for his first paseo de la temporada in Spain. He cut off two ears of the Voltalegre bulls in front of the Spanish television cameras.

Adrien Salenc, who has been known for a year under the name "Adriano", is the bullfighter who has cut off the most ears in France in 2022 (12 bullfights for 20 ears) and, last year, he achieved significant success with 19 trophies in 13 paseos and two ears in Nîmes (against the Margé) and Dax (against the Pallares) or even large doors in Arles, Istres, Châteaurenard and Peru.

This year, several arenas where he triumphed (Arles, Nîmes and Istres) have unjustly forgotten him in their cartel despite the successes of the past season. On March 24, Adriano began his season in Villarobledo (in front of the cameras of Spanish television) and he cut off an ear from each toro de Voltalegre to begin his 2024 season with a "salida a hombros&quot ; alongside Jose Fernando Molina.

The Frenchman managed to dominate a first abrupt toro and with little charge then he was able to develop his toreo against a second, more collaborative opponent. Her faena seduced and the public even asked for an additional trophy despite having half a sword.
