On the occasion of the centenary of his breeding, Jesus Cobaleda hopes that his next two novilladas in Céret and Orthez will confirm the positive dynamics of his breeding in recent years.
In addition to the Barcial, Ceret de toros will offer two bullfights from Sobral and Escolar Gil for the major bullfighting event in the Region.

For 2024, local tradition will be respected with two bullfights in Sobral and Escolar Gil this weekend and Gomez del Pilar will do two paseos during the Feria. At his side we will find the Colombian Juan de Castilla who is the emerging bullfighter in hard bullfights and other matadors who have shone in this circuit such as Damian Castaño and Sergio Flores. Obviously, the local idol, Fernando Robleño will be the lidia leader of the closing bullfight at Escolar Gil after having written several of the most beautiful pages of Céret history against this ganaderia.< /p>

The centenary of Barcial

But this 2024 edition will also be marked by the Barcial novella which celebrates its centenary this year. The « patas blancas » of Jesus Cobaleda seem to be regaining their bravery in recent times after going through a long difficult period. « My ganaderia is progressing and going through a good time. Last year we competed at the Feria de Calasparra and won a total of four awards: two for the best novillo and two for the best novillada. rejoices the breeder.

Knowing the importance of the French market for torist irons, Barcial hopes to validate its progress with two novilladas in France this month of July: « Les novilladas from Céret then Orthez on the 28th, are very serious and in the type of our ganaderia. Two years ago, we won the prize for best novillo in the competition and we hope to triumph again in Céret. France is a very important market for farms like ours.

In addition to France, Barcial will also release a novillo for the Villaseca de la Sagra competition and two novilladas in Spanish pueblos. For Sunday morning in Céret, they will be fought by Mario Arruza, Jésus de la Calzada and Miguel Andrades.
