Sebastián Castella retires from bullfighting.
20 years after taking the alternative, he has decided to say goodbye through a statement.
"There are other universes to discover," he
said in a letter in which he remembered "the colleagues who paid with their lives to conquer their dreams of lights."
"So many times he was born again, so many times that he would try to be a bullfighter," he
said.
The goodbye coincides with the 20th anniversary of alternative.
"An event that I have not been able to share with you as I would have liked."
Castella is the last active French bullfighter figure.
He took the alternative in Beziers in the year 2000. With Enrique
Ponce
as godfather and
José Tomás
as witness.
He was confirmed in Mexico in 2001 and three years later in the Monumental de Las Ventas.
"I will always say with pride that I have been, am and will be a bullfighter."
One of the key places in his career was precisely Madrid, where he has opened the Puerta Grande on five occasions.
The last one in 2018. "Everything I have, what I have lived, what I know and what I have achieved I owe to the world of bullfighting."
As he explained the bullfighter in Beziers, this year decided to
"goad to return, in my humble contribution to the bull so much he has given me. I think it was necessary.
I did it
for my crew, for the fans, by employers, by farmers and specialized media
"he has justified the six celebrations in paseíllo has done in the year of the coronavirus.
" I
never would have imagined when I started my career with just 11 years, in my Beziers native,
he would reach goals so many"
, he acknowledged.
"I want to
show my appreciation to all those who have accompanied me at some point in my career. From all I
've learned.
Especially, I want to
remember my family.
Without them, this journey would not have
been possible here."
In the statement, Castella leaves the door open to a possible return.
"I do not know if it will be a final goodbye or a see you later.
Only time has the answer. They say that bullfighters never retire and I think that's the case."
As this newspaper has published, Castella would be close to being Beziers' new businessman under the guidance of Simón Casas, his attorney until the announcement of the withdrawal.
"I have a lot to learn beyond what my life has been since I was a child."
