OVERVIEW

Spend the day at a working ranch that raises horses and fighting bulls in an idyllic country setting where you will enjoy a hearty lunch with wine. While touring the grounds of the Torrestrella ranch, you will learn about the breeding and selection process of the livestock. Visiting the stables, tack room and on-site museum will offer an even deeper look into the world of these extraordinary bulls and horses that will eventually perform in a bullring. Although bullfighting is controversial, its traditions run deep in Spain. That heritage is especially strong at Torrestrella, where three generations of the Domecq family have been involved in rejoneo – the traditional art of bullfighting on horseback. As part of the A Campo Abierto experience, you will watch a performance of equestrian dressage that demonstrates the relationship between these highly trained horses and the bulls. A classic paella lunch follows in the ranch’s garden.
