Andy Cartagena, Diego Ventura y Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza, salen a hombros en el primer festejo de abono de la Feria de Hogueras
On June 16, 2024, the Alicante Bullring witnessed an unforgettable spectacle that marked the beginning of the Hogueras Fair. With nearly three-quarters of the arena full and more than 7,000 spectators, the rejoneadores Andy Cartagena, Diego Ventura, and Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza put on an impressive performance.
Andy Cartagena, the local idol, dazzled the crowd with his skill and ability. Riding Pantera, Cártago, and Baena, he shone with his first bull, and with the fourth, riding Meteorito, he captivated the audience. He took home four trophies, a testament to his exceptional performance.
Diego Ventura also had a standout performance. With Bronce and Guadiana, his performance against the second bull was flawless, although the bull’s slowness in falling deprived him of the second ear. However, with the fifth bull, a magnificent specimen from Bohórquez that was awarded the lap of honour, Ventura demonstrated his mastery riding Nómada and ended with a thunderous rejón.
Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza completed the line-up, showing that the legacy of his father, the master Pablo, is in good hands. His performances, full of commitment and authenticity, earned him three ears. His hermosina riding Berlin will be remembered for a long time.
In summary, it was a splendid afternoon at the Alicante Bullring. The bulls from Fermín Bohórquez, well presented and generally well-behaved, contributed to the success of the event. The fifth bull, named “Vencejo” and marked with the number 144, was especially recognized with the lap of honour.
