Alejandro Talavante returns. The longing and nostalgic wishes of the fans during their long year of absence became rumors and rumors, in the news. Not just anyone, but, for now, the bullfighting news of the year: Alejandro Talavante will reappear in Arles (France) on April 11. And he will do it to "José Tomás", or as José Tomás used to appear before only one afternoon per year. An accurate and measured evening approach will design for AT a short season. The afternoon of his reappearance will kick off so much expectation contained, hand in hand with the French bullfighter Juan Leal , as EL MUNDO has been able to know. Arles will be the epicenter of the Talavantist earthquake and center of all eyes of the Taurus planet on Saturday of Glory. Three livestock will give the six bulls for the occasion. Juan Bautista, Jean Baptiste Jalabert as an entrepreneur of the Arlesian Roman amphitheater, the architect of the bombing, has not yet wanted to visit the brave camp so as not to raise suspicions or burst the surprise effect. A step forward in the fierce business battle with Simon Casas in the south of France: the struggle and resources come and go in the contests -for the moment resolved- of Nimes and Arles.

The event has been closed for a couple of months - Alejandro already traveled in September to Arles to feel the atmosphere of the Rice Fair; France has never been very Talavantist territory - the decision taken and the illusions back on track after the blackout. Talavante announced his retirement by surprise, on his Twitter account, as Juan José Padilla's farewell run ended in Zaragoza, on October 14, 2018. The Cyclopean Cyclone of Jerez had not finished on his shoulders when the bomb exploded the other's goodbye under the procession of the big door. The season for Alejandro had been excessively complicated. Of more shadows than lights. His fifth Puerta Grande in Madrid, conquered on May 30, as the title of winner of San Isidro, was followed by a break with his agent, Toño Matilla. The differences in economic approaches - AT had expressed that it wanted to charge "one euro more" than the one that more - caused the dissolution of society. Matilla resigned after Corpus, feeling unable to satisfy Alejandro's ambitions, always legitimate but not always realistic. That he began the journey of a desert and marginal summer: the broken contracts were undone and his name disappeared from all the throne fairs, managed his career directly by his brother. The system and Matilla were cursed, but it was not all as intended.

The bullfighter of crystalline purity, a supernatural value and an enormous left - that doll; that great and changing head-, the one that gave the most advantages to the bulls and looser them, was bound to a limit situation that led to a bet that sounded like a deadly triple without a net: Talavante agreed to enter the hype of Simón Casas and Nautalia with two afternoons at the Madrid Autumn Fair. The disappointment became capitalized before the runs of Victoriano del Río and Adolfo Martín. That if as a figure he can touch you in a raffle does not fail (Roca Rey was also graced with his iron last San Isidro). AT left psychologically very touched of the failed October challenge. Probably already then he decided to take off at the Pilar Fair.

But we are faced with the illusion unleashed by the return of a long-awaited bullfighter who has reached unbeatable aesthetic levels through a brutal technical and stylistic cleansing. Talavante never stopped growing and searching and searching since his discovery by Corbacho. His passage through the hands of Curro Vázquez, after the break with Manolito Chopera, seemed essential. The truth of AT multiplied in the mold of the classicism of Valencia, veined by its feverish fantasy. On April 11 in Arlés, in his curdling and dazzling Easter Fair -Bautista has rounded up a cycle full of attractions with the reappearance of Rafaelillo before a run by Miura, the solo enclosure of the rejoneador Diego Ventura or the presence in Resurrección de Manzanares - Alexander the Great, the desired one returns . May the strength of your bullfighting accompany you.
