Youth Bullfight in Illescas Cancelled: Andrés Roca Rey Ends Season Early
The Youth Bullfight in Illescas, originally scheduled for April 12 and later postponed, has met another setback. MaxiToro has announced its definitive suspension, leaving fans and participants disappointed. Star bullfighter Andrés Roca Rey, who had three commitments left in Spain, including this event, has ended his season early due to injuries.
The event, which was to feature Roca Rey, Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza, and Olga Casado with bulls from El Capea, Domingo Hernández, and Rocío de la Cámara, has been cancelled. MaxiToro has apologized to fans for the changes and reassured its support for bullfighting. Fans who purchased tickets can request refunds through their original purchase channels until 10:00 PM on October 18.
The suspension comes as a blow to bullfighting enthusiasts, who were looking forward to the event after its previous postponement. Roca Rey's early season end due to accumulated injuries adds to the disappointment, as he was set to participate in three more events in Spain, including the Youth Bullfight in Illescas.
The Youth Bullfight in Illescas, initially planned for April but postponed, has now been definitively suspended. MaxiToro has expressed regret and pledged continued support for bullfighting. Andrés Roca Rey, the event's star attraction, has ended his season early due to injuries. Fans are advised to seek refunds for their tickets through their original purchase channels.
