    • 2015 July 22, “Escribano, a hombros, y José Garrido, solventes ante los ‘santacolomas’”, in El País:
      Con media entrada en los tendidos, en tarde lluviosa, se lidiaron un toro -el primero- de Los Bayones, sin fuerzas; un sobrero -el cuarto- de José Cruz, muy parado; y cuatro de Ana Romero: el segundo se lesionó a la salida del puyazo y, aún mermado, ofreció el poquito fondo que le quedó; bueno el tercero, sin humillar el quinto; con duración pero poca clase, el sexto.
