Shall we talk about your trip?
On this journey the traveller will have an immersive and participatory experience about the world of the fighting bull in Spain. Participants in this trip will experience first hand the whole process of breeding, selection and fighting of the fighting bull, from its birth in the countryside to its fight in the bullring.
They will have the opportunity to visit private farms, not open to the general public, where they will be able to see and sometimes even participate in the daily tasks that are carried out in a fighting bull ranch: feeding and handling of cattle, testing the bravery of the bulls in “tentaderos” for their selection, etc.
In addition, they will have the opportunity to receive “salon bullfighting” classes classes (you will learn the technique of handling the cape and “muleta” without the presence of the bull), participate in a Master Class of initiation to rejoneo (bullfigthing on horseback), visit some of the most important studs of rejoneo horses, tour the farms on horseback, meet some bullfighting figures, etc…
Depending on the dates of the trip, travelers will be able to enjoy a real corrida, a bullfigthing festival, at the Plaza de Toros, accompanied by an expert to explain what goes on on each phase of the event.
