The matador Pepin Liria Cehegín said goodbye in an emotional run in which Goya has opened the Puerta Grande, cutting four ears and a tail to their bulls, the herd of La Campana.
Pepin had two years without acting on the centennial arena, which turned to say goodbye to a career of fifteen years, occupying always a good position in the hierarchy of bullfighting and the name of Cehegín walking all over the world, thus becoming the best ambassador the city ever had.
Just inside the ring, accompanied by his friend and opponent in the afternoon yesterday, Morante de la Puebla, the public yielded a heartfelt ovation.
Cehegín had already looking forward to seeing his bullfighter.
On arrival in 'Capote' he hoped the mayor and Councilman Jose Soria Francisco in April to present him a table in memory to be the last celebration in his homeland.
'The Warrior' was very excited all afternoon, watching her eyes moistened on many occasions.
As he tended, who cried several times in unison the name of a bullfighter, put the willies even the most insensitive.
It was an afternoon for the story, in which even Morante de la Puebla was more devoted than usual with his lot, also leaving the front door, with three ears.
The run, very weak and outcast, he just play for the afternoon will go down in history.
No doubt there were more bulls bullfighters.
And the audience saw it, and flipped as it rarely has.
In 1983, a calf acartelado as José Liria 'Maximin' was presented to his people at a festival for the Fight Against Cancer, which could not kill his calf because it did not stop to slip through the loopholes of the Burladero.
Fifteen years later, 'Falcon', a brown bull from the ranch of La Campana, would dismiss the charge of 'Torero of Honesty. "
And he did it in style, killing in the media, recalling the epic evening of 'Victorinos' in Sevilla, where he wrote one of the most important pages of bullfighting.
Very excited, and accompanied by one of his daughters, the bullfighter Cehegín gave his last lap of the ring, getting all the warmth of its people and kissing in the ring from the plaza where he was to begin, fall and rise, and finally reach what it is today, the teacher Pepin Liria.
