JesulÃn de Ubrique has been the first protagonist of El Camino a Casa, the program hosted by Albert Espinosa in which the bullfighter has made a tour of his native Ubrique, from the school where he studied as a child to the house where he spent his childhood.
The right-hander has started his way home from his old Fernando Galván school, where he has remembered his childhood, in which he dreamed of being a footballer. In addition, JesulÃn has returned to his old house after almost forty years without stepping foot in it.
“My father was a businessman for well-known artists such as RocÃo Jurado, Manolo Escobar, El Fary, Mustache Arrocet, La Bombi… That did not go well for my father and he lost money,” JesulÃn de Ubrique began by explaining.
In El Almendralejo, the moment that marked a before and after in his life took place: “We were here and my father came out the door. He was carrying some kind of black plastic and white chalk. He wrote ‘For sale’ and put the phone on of the house”, recalled JesulÃn de Ubrique with a smile on her face.
He asked him why he wanted to sell the field and his father told him that he was too young to understand. At that moment, JesulÃn thought that he should do something to change the situation: “My father had the illusion that one of his sons had been a bullfighter, but I did not contemplate it. I thought: How do I play the key?” .
“Dad, do you want me to be a bullfighter? Well, don’t sell the field,” the bullfighter told his father. At that same moment, Humberto took down the poster. The right-hander has confessed that the first money JesulÃn de Ubrique earned was “to pay off RocÃo Jurado’s debt, the fees… RocÃo found out in time. That’s where the whole racket began.”
