The association of French bull breeders, picador Gabin Réhabi, novillero Victor Clauzel, and matador Clemente-for the second year running-were among the recipients of trophies. Only El Juli, with his award-winning livestock from El Freixo, brought a Spanish presence to the event. The absent former figure sent a video message but couldn’t compete with the dayS star, who shifted the focus of this edition towards the south-east. This was underscored by the organization’s brindis, dedicated to the arenas of Nîmes, to the detriment of those in Dax and Bayonne.
