Tiempo de toros

Tiempo de toros is a formal, interview-centered program devoted to bullfighting and the culture around it. It treats the plaza as a place of art, danger, memory, and public dispute. The rhythm is unhurried. José Miguel Martín de Blas often begins with a wide frame, naming the recent afternoon, the old milestone, the injury, or the institutional question before narrowing toward the guest’s own account. The result is less like a news bulletin than a record of how bullfighters and bull-world figures explain themselves. Recent episodes have followed David de Miranda after his Manizales triumph, with attention to the Feria del Café, the replica in gold of the Cathedral, and the emotional force of a faena. Álvaro Lorenzo’s appearance turns a six-bull charity corrida into a discussion of responsibility, sword work, variety across ganaderías, and the precision required by each animal. Adrián de Torres speaks from a different angle, tracing a change in style, body placement, confidence, and the late discovery of a way of torear that felt truer to him. Juan de Castilla’s episode is starker. It lingers on a grave cornada, a fractured tibia and fibula, treatment with a suction device, and the mental patience required when a season is interrupted by pain. The show also broadens beyond the formal corrida. Rafael de Julia’s wish to return after anorexia nervosa and Jonathan Estebanez Peta’s injury in the world of recorte bring the same themes into other edges of the profession. Victorino Martín’s episode places tauromaquia in a political and cultural argument, especially around the National Bullfighting Prize and public recognition. Across these conversations, the show keeps returning to truth, bravery, artistry, recovery, and the price demanded by the bull. It is tradition-aware without sounding casual about danger. It gives its guests space, but it also presses them to turn a concrete afternoon into a larger account of identity and craft. For listeners who already know the names, plazas, and fairs, Tiempo de toros offers detail and continuity. For listeners entering from the outside, it provides a revealing map of how this world thinks, suffers, celebrates, and defends itself.
