Andy Cartagena opened the Puerta del Príncipe at the ninth subscription event of Seville's Feria de Abril at La Maestranza bullring, cutting three ears from noble bulls by El Capea and Carmen Lorenzo. Lea Vicens earned one ear while Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza cut two ears, though he faltered on the kill in his second bull. The event drew more than three-quarters capacity.
Manuel Escribano cut the only ear of the afternoon with a great thrust to the fourth bull in the last Miura corrida of the April Fair in Seville. Román performed the best faena to the exceptional third bull, Lamparillo, but failed with the sword and went without a trophy. Pepe Moral handled the most complicated lot without reward in the full Maestranza.

Peruvian bullfighter Andrés Roca Rey was seriously wounded with a 35-centimeter goring to his right thigh during the April 23 bullfight at Seville's Plaza de la Maestranza. The injury happened as he went in to kill the fifth bull, a five-year-old from Victoriano del Río and Toros de Cortés named Soleares, for which he was awarded two ears. After surgery in the arena's infirmary, he was transferred to a hospital.
