A day with a Famous Bullfighter

Spend the afternoon in the company of one of Spain’s most renowned bullfighters of the 20th century. Be welcomed at his ranch in western Spain and spend the day immersed in the legend of the Spanish toro bravo. See the photos of the bullfighter in the most famous bullrings in Spain and South America. Whether it was rubbing shoulders with General Franco or celebrities of the day, Don Antonio was and still is a charismatic figure who was revered in the ring. These days Don Andres is still heavily involved in the world of bullfighting, now breeding toros bravos. See them in their natural habitat and sense the awesome presence of this fine specimen.

Learn how they are prepared for the ring and discover how the breeders perpetuate the myth and reality of the toro bravo. Don Andres frequently attends bullfights and is often the guest of honor.

A demonstration of toreo (art of duelling with the bull) can also be arranged on a day when you will also enjoy traditional Spanish hospitality, with a fabulous barbecued paella or steak, washed down with all a full-bodies vino tinto!

A great day out that can be combined with a visit to the nearby walled town of Avila and a fantastic prelude to a bullfight in Madrid, if at the right time of year.
