Bullfights at Las Ventas in Madrid during San Isidro, live: the latest from Paco Ureña, David Galván, and Alejandro Chicharro today.

Tomorrow, May 16, the seventh San Isidro bullfight will feature bulls from Puerto de San Lorenzo and Ventana del Puerto, for Manzanares, Fernando Adrián, and Pablo Aguado. Another full house is expected at Las Ventas.

Chicharro moves to the middle of the ring to begin a good series on the right horn. He continues with that horn, more involved with the bull, with a somewhat disconcerting charge. He offers some well-crafted natural passes when it begins to rain heavily. He doesn't hold back his efforts with the bull.

A stab that puts an end to a disappointing afternoon for the Frsile bulls from Valdefresno.

The one who closes the afternoon, the third of the five-year-olds, enters the arena. Weighing in at 622 kilos, Yegūesero puts Alejandro Chicharro in a difficult position from the first contact and then spears him with good air.

The horse is employed and comes out with symptoms of weakness and with the general tendency of the afternoon to look for the boards.

Iván García and Fernando Sánchez performed brilliantly, earning the standing ovation of the afternoon.

Cigarrero displays the same evasive tendency toward the inside as his bullfighting brothers. He pushes the fifth bull with the first thrust and barely manages to do so with the second. He is difficult to place banderillas due to his constant escapes.

David Galván offers the audience a chance to win, as the bull continues to charge toward the boards. He tries to hold the bull in his place and manages some tasteful passes. He insists on making passes, and the bull wants nothing more than to run all over the arena. A skillful stab and thrust.

He fights well on the Campanero horse, weighing 615 kilos and with a beautiful finish, although he takes the second thrust at a moment's notice, which spoils his luck.

Ureña takes him out of the third, but the bull seeks to go inside. He takes him back to the middle and charges uncontrollably. He passes him with skill and determination, but his eagerness clashes with the meekness of the cracked bull.

Two punctures and a stab, now for the fifth.

The third bull, a five-year-old named Pompero, weighs 650 kilos. He's broad from any angle and doesn't stand out in the first few thirds. Galván begins the bullfight with statuesque bulls, including a scare, with a graceful finish by releasing his left foot.

The bull brazenly seeks the boards. He puts it into the muleta with his right hand, carefully controlling it. The bullfighter holds his ground with confidence and poise. He switches hands with the bull very reluctantly and kills with a deep stab and a descabello.

Paco Ureña sees the potential of his opponent, treating him gently at the start of the fight until he finally gets him out to the middle. There, he cites the bull with his muleta on the right and puts together a good first series.

Ureña faces the bull, his rhythm open, his feet firm, ready to deliver commanding and devastating passes. He insists on the right, leading the bull long. Firm, more upright, natural. They keep their left foot together, holding a parry. Another right with composure. The two-handed closure is very bullfighting. A short thrust brings down the fine example, who is applauded for his brave death.

Pomposoco, the second bull from Fraile de Valdefresno, looks in good condition in the first thirds. He takes two varas with zeal and gallops with banderillas.

This time, Chicharro takes the muleta and sword and hands them over to his godfather, in this ceremony called the return of the goods.

He bends, guiding the charges, and finishes the beginning of the faena with an applauded chest pass. He makes a distant call on the right horn and carries it long. The bullfighter from Valdefresno responds with a revolting point and passes it with command. He makes a natural call in an uneven series. The young bullfighter is courageous, standing up to the bull in the terrain the tame bull is seeking. The bull's flight undermines the bullfighter's disposition.

A warning sounds before a puncture. He finishes from a half-length position.

Godfather Laco Ureña takes the muleta and sword, which he hands over to young Chicharro in the presence of David Galván. The liturgy is repeated, along with words to the neophyte and the latter's thanks.

Chicharro leaves determined to toast the public.

Pandereto, a 616-kilo bullfighter from five years ago, is already in the ring. He doesn't want to fight in the first few passes, comes loose from the first encounter with the picador, and doesn't use much effort in the second. He doesn't make things easy for the banderilleros, constantly fleeing toward the boards.

An excellent turnout at Las Ventas, the stands were almost full, and they were eagerly awaiting the first bull of the afternoon.

Bugles and timpani sound. The weather seems to be on its way. Paco Ureña and David Galván support young Alejandro Chicharro, supported by his godfather and witness. The marching band starts, the procession begins, the festivities begin, alguacilillos at the front.

The bullfighters are putting on their capes as they live with concentration and excitement the last minutes before the start of the bullfight. The expressions of concern and tension are repeated.

Little by little, the stands at Las Ventas are filling up. The great atmosphere surrounding the bullring is spreading inside the arena. The stands, bleachers, and tiers are filling up, and a large crowd is expected on the saint's day.

The Aemet forecast calls for mild temperatures of around 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit) at the start of the bullfight, with clouds in the sky, threatening rain at first, and a light wind that could bother the bullfighters with some stronger gusts.

San Isidro Day with a young Madrid bullfighter confirming his potential. Alejandro Chicharro, who earned his doctorate at the last Fallas Fair in Valencia, is making a strong showing this afternoon. Chicharro enjoys a great following among Madrid fans, having opened the Puerta Grande at Las Ventas during his presentation on May Day last year.

The godfather, Paco Ureña, and the witness, David Galván, are celebrating their second afternoon at the fair and maintaining the interest of the Ventas fans.
