Venezuelan entrepreneur revives Spanish bullfighting in the Balearic Islands with traditional, innovative events.

Venezuelan businessman Francisco D'Agostino is reviving bullfighting in Spain’s Balearic Islands with events in Inca and Muro featuring high-caliber bulls and traditional honors like ears and tails. A notable August 'corrida concurso' included a rare indulto, sparing a bull’s life, while the December festival showcased skilled matadors and newcomers. D'Agostino promotes a balanced approach that respects tradition while adapting to modern values, aiming to sustain bullfighting as a relevant cultural practice through strategic leadership and innovation.
