The bullfighter Julián López El Juli starred this Wednesday in Gijón in an afternoon that is already bullfighting history, as he walked a total of eight ears and one tail, and managed to pardon the first bull in the history of the El Bibio arena, named Caritativo and belonging to the Garcigrande ranch.
The star poster of this renewed Begoña Fair: El Juli in Gijón locked himself up with six bulls alone to celebrate with the Asturian fans its 25 years of alternative and, incidentally, also say goodbye to it, since at the end of this season it will hang the suit of lights
The ring was decorated before the paseíllo with the following message: “Thank you for so much, the Juli, XXV anniversary”, recognition of a long and successful career in which he has always remained at the top of the ladder and that has made him a indisputable figure of bullfighting and a bullfighter of the time.
The people, who filled around three quarters of the capacity of the arena in Gijón, did not take long to enjoy Julián López, who already in his first one secured the Puerta Grande after a very complete slaughter to a noble bull owned by Daniel Ruiz, whose fight provided to the mayoress Carmen Moriyón, and with whom he shone above all in natural bullfighting, bullfighting long and from below. Two ears after an effective lunge.

The party continued in the second, by Garcigrande, with which he showed a variety of cloaks (long change, chicuelinas a paso and tafalleras) and very determined and communicative with those lying in a warm work of crutch, argued on the right hand, buttoned with celebrated circulars and awarded with another two ears after an accurate sword blow.
The third, from La Quinta, was a bull that El Juli showed off on the horse in the Gijón bullring and with which he showed his good trade to prevail over the somewhat reserved condition of the “santacoloma” who, in the end, ended up putting in the basket Another ear for his sport.
In the fourth came the event of the afternoon and of bullfighting history in Gijón, as El Juli pardoned Caritativo, from Garcigrande, the first bull whose life was spared in El Bibio after an exciting task in which communion between bull and bullfighter was total. Historic performance, excellent for natural. The photo of the return to the ring with the farmer is already for the annals.
The fifth, by Daniel Ruiz, was the black chickpea of the shipment due to its manifest weakness and lack of breed. The Juli walked in Gijón above the circumstances in a work of little brilliance.
Julián López finished off his great afternoon by cutting off one more ear of the sixth, in which he returned to his origins shining with zapopinas and putting up banderillas. The crutch task, all delivered, was full of winks, boasts and good bullfighting. The lack of forcefulness in the supreme luck left the prize singular.

Three bulls from Garcigrande (2nd, 4th, who replaced a starter from La Quinta who became useless in the corrals and 6th), two from Daniel Ruiz (1st and 5th) and one from La Quinta (3rd), with a good overall presentation and, except for the off fifth, in general a good game, especially the fourth, named Caritativo, number 36, black with a cape, weighing 526 kilos and born in December 2018, who was pardoned.
The artistic balance of Julián López, the Juli, who acted as the only sword and wore a Nazarene suit and silver, has been the following: lunge (two ears); detached lunge (two ears); rear median (ear); he simulated supreme luck after pardoning the fourth (two symbolic ears and tail); jab and lunge (ovation); jab and rear lunge and drop (ear).
The bullfighters from Salamanca, Álvaro de la Calle and Miguel Ángel Sánchez, acted as outstanding performers.
The square registered around three quarters of an entry.
