The Las Ventas bullring hosted the thirteenth day of the Fair on May 22, featuring a notable performance against a bull from the Victoriano del Río ranch.

The event, which saw a full house with 22,964 spectators, was defined by the bravery and demanding nature of a bull that was awarded a lap of honor. Throughout the afternoon, bulls of varied builds were fought, showing nobility despite uneven behavior during the lancing stage.
The most significant work of the afternoon stood out for its connection with the crowd, achieving moments of great artistic intensity. Despite a remarkable technical execution, the statistical success was hindered by the use of the sword, preventing the awarding of trophies after a performance that was recognized by the public with a lap of honor.
The rest of the afternoon had less impact, with the matadors showing dedication against animals that, while noble, presented difficulties during the fight. The day concluded with the feeling of having witnessed a moment of high quality against a specimen that stood out from the rest of the livestock presented in the Madrid arena.
