The city of Marbella is preparing for a new bullfighting season in 2026, solidifying its bullring's position in the circuit of major summer events. Arenal Marbella Toros has officially presented the festivities that will take place on June 13 and August 7, the latter featuring the traditional Corrida de Candiles.

One of the most prominent names on both posters is Morante de la Puebla, who will perform in both events. He will share the ring with other bullfighting stars such as Alejandro Talavante and Manzanares, as well as with emerging bullfighters who triumphed last season and new promises like David de Miranda and Aarón Palacio.

On June 13, the bullfight will feature bulls from the El Freixo ranch, owned by Julián López “El Juli”, returning after the success of the previous season. The lineup is completed by Morante de la Puebla, Alejandro Talavante, a winner in Marbella in the last edition, and David de Miranda, one of the great triumphs of the 2025 bullfighting season.

The Corrida de Candiles, held at night on August 7, will feature bulls from D. Cayetano Muñoz, from Zafra. On this occasion, Morante de la Puebla will once again step into the Marbella arena after his triumph in Candiles 2025, accompanied by Manzanares and the young Aarón Palacio, who has recently stood out in Seville and is considered one of the great promises of the bullfighting ranks.

The 2026 season will pay tribute to Maestro Manolo González, a figure with a deep connection to Marbella, as reflected in the image illustrating the posters and the monument dedicated to him at the Puerta Grande of the bullring. The Marbella City Council and Arenal Marbella Toros will hold an official presentation event in the coming days.

The company has implemented an accessible pricing policy, including special tickets for young people and retirees, in addition to once again offering VIP Boxes. Tickets are already available for purchase from April 17 via bacantix.com.
