Bullfighter Alejandro Quesada: biography, professional career, awards and triumphs, bullfighting vocation.

Debut without Picadors: on 27 June 2021, when he made his novillada debut without picadors in El Bonillo.

Debut with Picadors: on 18 May 2024, he took the decisive step: his debut with picadors in Castellar de Santiago (Ciudad Real)

He first stepped into the art of bullfighting at the Albacete Bullfighting School, where he laid the foundations of his craft. Yet his restless spirit soon led him to train independently, under the guidance of Jesús and Santiago González, as well as the matador Alberto Pozo, shaping a personal style marked by dedication and discipline.

His public journey began on 27 June 2021, when he made his novillada debut without picadors in El Bonillo, facing calves from Fernando Peña. It was the first glimpse of a vocation that went beyond chance. On 18 May 2024, he took the decisive step: his debut with picadors in Castellar de Santiago (Ciudad Real), cutting three ears from a difficult Núñez de Tarifa lot and leaving the arena on shoulders.

Success had already accompanied him before: in Pozohondo, he achieved a resounding triumph, cutting three ears; in various rings across Castilla-La Mancha, his classic, elegant style has been admired, particularly his expressive left hand, capable of long, profound passes.

But the path of a torero is never without hardship. After his debut with picadors, opportunities were scarce, testing his patience and resolve. In September 2025, during the Albacete Fair, he suffered a serious goring: a twelve-centimetre internal wound to the left calf. Operated on in the bullring’s infirmary, his courage and determination turned a setback into yet another chapter of perseverance.

Alejandro defines his art as truthful and tempered, closer to depth than to empty flamboyance. He believes difficulty shapes character, and in every faena he seeks precisely that: to prove, through sincerity and bravery, that he is a torero who gives his all.

Though still at the dawn of his career, Alejandro Quesada is already a name to follow among the young talents of La Mancha. Each afternoon he steps into the arena, he sows the promise that the best is yet to come.
