By his thirteenth year,
Julián had appeared in a total of 130 becerradas, festivals and novilladas, achieving
much-noted successes all over Spain:
Julián traveled to México
to begin a tour in the Americas, debuting in the Feria de Texcoco, March 16, 1997,
where he was carried out in triumph after cutting ears. Since Texcoco, Julián
has appeared with continued success in other important plazas -- San Miguel de
Allende, Ciudad Juárez, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí, and Chihuahua. And in the
Feria de San Marcos in Aguascalientes, he was honored as the best novillero of
the Feria, again carried out in triumph after cutting three ears.
The young novillero is the
focus of attention from one end of the Mundo Taurino to the other, with high expectation
for his return to Spain and France. Meanwhile he is meeting with continued success
in México where early this June he will appear in the largest bullring in the
world, Plaza México. That appearance will be followed by more appearances throught
México, and in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, etc., closing the '97 temporada with the
greatest number of novilladas possible ... preparation for his next appearance
in Europe.
To see how Julián performed
a year after this bio was written, come visit his photo
gallery (photos from his appearance in Queretero (June 3, 1998), at the last
novillada of the "I Encuentro Mundial de Novilleros").
