Visitors will be able to take a chronological tour through some of the highlights of his career, discovering pieces never before exhibited and reliving fundamental chapters in the history of modern bullfighting. The exhibition seeks to bring the figure of Joselito closer to both veteran fans and new generations interested in learning more about bullfighting culture.
