<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nThe Alicante Bullring already has one of the year’s major bullfighting announcements: the Hogueras Fair Bullfighting Poster Alicante 2026<\/strong>. The official presentation of the posters confirms a particularly significant edition within the national bullfighting calendar, featuring top-tier names such as Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Manzanares, Morante de la Puebla, and Roca Rey<\/strong>, along with breeding combinations of great interest to enthusiasts. <\/p>\n The 2026 Hogueras Fair was officially presented in the Blue Hall of Alicante City Hall on May 13, 2026<\/strong>, with a program consisting of ten events<\/strong> between June 19 and 27: five bullfights, one rejones event, one novillada with picadors, one novillada without picadors, one practical class, and one popular event.<\/p>\n The main attraction of the series will arrive on Saturday, June 20<\/strong>, with one of the most anticipated combinations of the fair: Morante de la Puebla, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Manzanares, and Roca Rey<\/strong>, who will perform the pase\u00edllo before bulls from \u00c1lvaro N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong>. This is a poster of maximum expectation due to Morante’s artistic personality, Manzanares’ emotional connection with Alicante, and Roca Rey’s international appeal. <\/p>\n The presence of these three figures makes this afternoon one of the major bullfighting events of Hogueras 2026. For Alicante, it also represents an opportunity to once again position itself at the center of the bullfighting season, attracting both local enthusiasts and visitors who come to the city during its most important festivities. <\/p>\n One of the key names in the Hogueras Fair Bullfighting Poster Alicante 2026<\/strong> will be Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Manzanares. The Alicante bullfighter will not only be announced for the major bullfight on June 20, but also on Wednesday, June 24<\/strong>, in an afternoon of enormous interest facing bulls from Victorino Mart\u00edn<\/strong>. <\/p>\n The June 24 poster will bring together El Cid, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Manzanares, and Manuel Escribano<\/strong>, a combination with great bullfighting weight. According to information published by Alicante City Hall, this will be the first time Manzanares has been announced in a trio in Alicante with Victorino Mart\u00edn bulls, although he did fight a bull from this breeding ranch in Seville in 2013 during a solo bullfight. <\/span><\/p>\n This detail adds special value to the series, as it combines the prestige of an emblematic breeding ranch with the presence of one of the most important bullfighters connected to the city.<\/p>\n Another major attraction of the fair will be the double appearance of Morante de la Puebla<\/strong>. In addition to the star bullfight on June 20, the Sevillian bullfighter will perform the pase\u00edllo again on Tuesday, June 23<\/strong>, alongside Alejandro Talavante and Juan Ortega<\/strong>, with bulls from Santiago Domecq<\/strong>. <\/p>\n This second afternoon adds a highly artistic component to the season ticket. Morante, Talavante, and Juan Ortega represent three very personal approaches to bullfighting, making this poster one of the most anticipated by enthusiasts seeking an afternoon of sensitivity, composure, and personality. <\/p>\n In addition to the bullfighting posters, the 2026 edition features a top-level artistic element: the fair’s announcement poster, created by Miquel Barcel\u00f3<\/strong>. The work pays tribute to Luis Francisco Espl\u00e1<\/strong> on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his alternativa, reinforcing the connection between art, culture, and bullfighting in Alicante. <\/span><\/p>\n Barcel\u00f3’s selection brings an international dimension to the Hogueras poster. His artistic career and relationship with bullfighting make this work much more than a promotional image: it is also a cultural piece that recognizes the historical importance of the fair and Espl\u00e1’s figure within Alicante’s bullfighting identity. <\/p>\n The official program for the 2026 Hogueras Fair is configured as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n Friday, June 19<\/strong> Saturday, June 20<\/strong> Sunday, June 21<\/strong> Monday, June 22<\/strong> Tuesday, June 23<\/strong> Wednesday, June 24<\/strong> Thursday, June 25<\/strong> Friday, June 26<\/strong> Saturday, June 27<\/strong> Saturday, June 27, 11:00 PM<\/strong> All events will begin at 7:00 PM<\/strong>, except for the bullfight on Sunday, June 21<\/strong>, which will start at 8:00 PM<\/strong> due to the coinciding match between Spain and Saudi Arabia in the World Cup. <\/span><\/p>\n This detail is important for enthusiasts and visitors who wish to organize their stay in Alicante during the Hogueras festivities, especially if they want to combine the bullfighting program with other cultural, gastronomic, and festive activities in the city.<\/p>\n The Hogueras Bullfighting Fair is one of the major events at the beginning of summer in Spain. Its value is not limited solely to the names announced on the posters: it is part of a larger celebration, in which Alicante fills with atmosphere, foguerer monuments, fireworks, music, tourism, and Mediterranean tradition. <\/p>\n In 2026, the fair arrives with a particularly strong program, capable of attracting very different audiences: enthusiasts who follow the bullfighting season, visitors who discover the city during its festivities, and tourists seeking an authentic cultural experience in Alicante.<\/p>\n The Hogueras Fair Bullfighting Poster Alicante 2026<\/strong> brings together all the ingredients to become one of the most outstanding bullfighting news stories of the year: top-level figures, double appearances by key bullfighters, prestigious breeding ranches, presence of young talents, and an announcement poster created by an internationally renowned artist.<\/p>\n With Manzanares, Morante, and Roca Rey as the main attractions, the Alicante Bullring is preparing to experience a fair of great intensity. An event that once again unites tradition, art, and emotion in one of the most representative bullfighting venues of the Mediterranean. <\/p>\n To learn all the details of the fair, dates, and upcoming bullfighting events in the city, you can consult the updated information on the official website of the Alicante Bullring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hogueras Fair Bullfighting Poster Alicante 2026: Manzanares, Morante, and Roca Rey Lead a Top-Level Fair The Alicante Bullring already has one of the year’s major bullfighting announcements: the Hogueras Fair Bullfighting Poster Alicante 2026.
