Additional information: Chosen as one of the best novilleros of the year in Seville, he appeared at the Real Maestranza on June 26, 2011 to fight a Montealto bullfight, from which he obtained an ear that could have been two if he had not failed with the sword. But before Seville he cut two ears in Barcelona and Nimes, and then in Dax and Mont-de-Marsan. With an excellent atmosphere and preceded by relevant successes, he appeared in the most important novilladas fairs of the calendar. He cut two ears and a tail in Algemesí, and two more in Guadarrama. To culminate his first campaign as a novillero with picadors, he won the prestigious Golden Shoe of Arnedo when he pardoned a bull from the Baltasar Ibán bull-ranch, which he fought in sixth place. He was also awarded the Capote de Oro de Nimes and the Tomate de Oro de Villa del Prado. At the end of last season he reached an agreement with the French businessman and manager Simón Casas.
