Las Ventas Sells Out: Ferrera and Román Face Adolfo Martín Bulls Before 22,964 Fans
Madrid's Las Ventas bullring hung the "no tickets" sign on October 11 for the sixth event of the Autumn Fair: a mano a mano between Antonio Ferrera and Román with bulls from Adolfo Martín. The sell-out crowd of 22,964 filled the world's most demanding bullring for an afternoon the local press called historic.
Ferrera and Román faced a hard, much-examined Adolfo Martín corrida, a breeding line famed for its demanding bulls, and the afternoon entered the season's record books for both the gate and the atmosphere.
The Autumn Fair (Feria de Otoño) is Madrid's closing series of the bullfighting season, running through the National Day weekend.
Bullfighting remains one of Spain's most contested traditions, with full houses at Las Ventas coexisting with a political debate about the future of the fiesta that will continue in the new parliament after November 29. (Source: Plaza de Las Ventas, Madrid)
