Juan José García Corral
Juan José García Corral, Spanish bullfighter, born on June 22, 1952 in La Fuente de San Esteban, province of Salamanca.
On August 11, 1968 took the alternative in Manzanares (Ciudad Real) from Andrés Hernando and witness Gabriel de la Casa. The bull was called: "Hullero" of the Count of Mayalde, who cut off both ears and tail. The confirmation took place in the square of Las Ventas (Madrid) on May 17, 1969, by Santiago Martin "El Viti" and witness Francisco Rivera "Paquirri". The bull was called: "Castañeta" of the cattle ranch of Francisco Galache.
In 1969 he opened the large door of the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid. On July 7, 1971, due to a traffic accident at the height of Aranda de Duero, coming from Pamplona, he suffered serious eye problems, being operated several times by the ophthalmologist Marín Enciso in the Toreros Sanatorium in Madrid. This was the end of his career to become a first figure.
He repaired in the Haro bullring on August 1, 1971 in a hand-in-hand with Sebastián Palomo Linares, with bulls from the ranch Román Sorando. The first one cut off the two ears, and the one that closed the two ears and tail. Later, in spite of being diminished of the vision, it carried out important tasks in squares of the importance of Madrid or Salamanca, where several times it was triumphant of the fair. He is currently the director of the Tauromachy School of Salamanca.
