Jiménez Fortes

Saúl Jiménez Fortes, billed as “Fortes,” is the paradigm of Spartan courage and unbelievable stillness. Born on January 11, 1990, in Málaga, his commitment to bullfighting transcends the limits of logic.

Promising Start From a bullfighting family (son of banderillero Gaspar Jiménez and novillera Mary Fortes), he carried tauromaquia in his blood from the cradle and trained at the Provincial School of Málaga.
Debut as a Novillero He debuted with horses in Benalmádena on March 8, 2009, quickly profiling himself as a novillero of crushing courage.
The Alternative in Bilbao He took the alternative on August 24, 2011, in the imposing Vista Alegre arena (Bilbao), with El Juli as godfather and Alejandro Talavante as witness.
Confirmation in Las Ventas He confirmed in Madrid on May 16, 2013. His performances in the capital have been marked by extreme heroism, suffering very severe horn wounds but without backing down a single millimeter.
Style and Legacy Fortes steps into territories that very few dare to tread. His stoicism, verticality, and total lack of theatricality have made him an idol for fans who value the naked truth of bullfighting.
