Ventura triumphs with three ears and Romero with two at the close of the best Colombinas in history.

The Colombinas festival closes, as has been the tradition for decades on Sundays in this plaza, with the bullfight on horseback . The people closest to the agricultural sector are expected and encouraged to come, those blessed with the opportunity to work even Saturdays, and even on some Holy Days, who are also obliged to pay the pension required to take care of the farm or look after the livestock.

Diego Ventura, as the undisputed leader of Marialva's art , insists on "putting one forward," whoever steps onto the arena first and assumes the coldness and composure of the audience. That's how Sergio Galán appears in Huelva after 24 years as an alternative. Things are like that, but they should be different. And this late introduction, neither requested nor expected, was not a triumph, even though the Cuenca native gave his all against the first Murube of the afternoon, which came out very abanto and only acquired formality with the punishing rejones. With Bambino, he left good banderillas, taking more risk than was apparent, and then got tangled up with the steel both mounted and on foot. He also failed to recover with the fourth bull. The Bohórquez bull was reserved, and the rider spent the entire afternoon "trying to get the bull out of a rockrose stain," as maestro Paco Ojeda, with whom we were fortunate enough to spend the afternoon, vividly explained.

Diego Ventura is the one who rules in the offices, on the field, and, most importantly, in the bullring. And he did so. He placed two rejones (reception rejons) on the first of his lot with little zeal and a complicated approach, and with Lio, he created a commotion until he placed banderillas without a bit in the mouth or reins in his hand. He cut an ear after having to dismount and use the descabello (a descabello) . With the more drinkable and affectionate fifth, possibly because it fell into his hands, he created a huge mess, the unleashed passion of a public that admires someone who masters all the tricks of bullfighting, giving the bull advantages until he dominates it. With Nivaldo, he showed the reason for his command. But with Nómada, passion was unleashed with every twist and turn; with every caper, the terrain was reduced and the tension increased, and from the stands they sang sevillanas. Fali, one of the bullring's doormen, was dedicated fandangos and given two indisputable ears , after short banderillas and roses and starring in the greatest bullfighting spectacle in the world.

Andrés Romero , greeted with applause by Huelva, dedicated the first of his lot to his brother-in-law Juan Luis, a key figure in his early career, and received him brilliantly with Obelisco. He achieved his best moments with Guajiro. His inaccuracy with the steel prevented him from touching hair. He cut two ears from the sixth , based on courage, strength, and good bullfighting. He went to the bullpen door, he nailed it with banderillas with Fuente Rey, and the short ones with Capricho were risky and true, amidst the applause of the public. He killed the second bull and cut two ears much requested by the stands. At the end of the event , he walked around the ring with the great Guajiro , after cutting his pigtail, thus leaving a good horse at 23 years of age to the ring.

Six bullfights, three sold-out crowds, and two bullfights make these Colombinas the best in history and one of the best bullfights in second-class bullrings in Spain.
