The morning of this Easter Monday was dedicated to the toreo on horseback with a prize from San Pelayo, property of Niño de la Capea.
For Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza's farewell to Arles, he alternated with his son, Guillermo, and Léa Vicens.
The three horsemen left through the main gate.

This Easter Monday was today's stop on the farewell tour of Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza, the legend of rejon. At the end of the paseo, Arles paid tribute to him.

Always at the highest level despite his long career, the Navarrese delighted the public one last time with his sense of temple, his ability to dominate all the bulls and this bullfighting always stuck to the brave by allowing changes of support and passages in mouse holes.

"Music please"

Enthusiastic during his last fight against a toro de vuelta, he shone with the pirouettes of Molbec and the short banderillas while climbing Nomada. Even making the audience smile by asking the president in French for "music please" ! He could do a final lap of honor around the amphitheater with both ears in his hand accompanied by the daughter of the San Pelayo breeder (Niño de la Capea) who is also the daughter of the San Pelayo breeder (Niño de la Capea). wife of Miguel Angel Perera.

To continue in the telling of the family stories, the legacy is already passed on to his son Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza who has won a place of choice in the escalafon of riders with his numerous triumphs in Seville and Madrid. Although he does not yet have the lightness and cadence of his father, Guillermo benefits from a wide and varied repertoire and knows how to quickly connect with the tendidos. During this morning, the homemade recipes gave him three ears.

Guillermo and Léa Vicens also triumph

Finally, Lea Vicens was invited to the family celebration and delivered a first faena with great cadence and classicism. She shone with the star horses of her stable, Betico, Diluvio and Greco, and finished his first fight with efficiency.

Surprisingly, the presidency ignored the public's second-hearing request.

The Amazon's second fight was less regular with a few hiccups in its suertes. Once again, she concluded the fight with aplomb and an extra handkerchief fell to go out in triumph with the Mendoza family.
