The last bullfight in Barcelona was a strange celebration, presided over by a “monumental melancholy”, as our newspaper pointedly titled. It happened on Sunday, September 25, 2011 in the Monumental bullring, obviously. José Tomás officiated, appointed to star in the elegy to the party in Catalonia, but the leading role was for "the ban", which thousands of fans lamented with the cry of "Freedom, freedom!", a proclamation that took some veterans back to past times .
Our columnist Joaquín Luna wrote that the anthological day, from an artistic point of view, had been the previous one, on Saturday afternoon, and interpreted the end of the party in an identity key: “One less bridge (with Spain)”, he titled which augur, anticipating a volcanic age.
