The fighting bull breeding (breed of breeds) stimulates biodiversity due to the wide genetic diversity of its own species and because it coexists, where it lives, with the autochthonous flora and fauna species.
Our livestock ranches are located in natural areas where the fighting bull is reared among groves and pastures, which we, the breeders, take care to preserve and maintain.
Bullfighting is culture, history and tradition. For this reason it was declared Spanish Cultural Heritage (Law 18/2013, of 12 November). Since ancient times, bullfighting has served as an inspiration for different arts such as painting, literature, music, photography, etc.
We generate richness and fight against depopulation. We mobilize employees, suppliers and services, making visible our territories.
Bull meat is an excellent food with very good nutritional properties. Our Association belongs to the “Federación de Asociaciones de Raza Autóctona de Lidia”, whose mission is to value the production of bullfighting meat, and to spread its qualities to consumers and restaurateurs.
The natural environment in which the fighting bull is reared, as well as its own beauty and the interest aroused by the work of livestock operations, make the brave countryside a first-class tourist resource.
