Bull Running Pamplona, July 14, 2014


Is unbelievable to think after seeing this picture that few months later, this young lawyer of Pamplona, was in perfect conditions. 
Originally, Juan Miura´s Livestock was founded in 1842. The legend of this fighting bull, the most indomitable in the arena, has been forged through a differentiated and unique type of bull with clear ancient echoes. The original crossbreed have resulted in a unique bull: high horns, tall and wide breast, bony and high paws, thin skin and a fresh face.
Miura is a name attached to the Bullfighting Fiesta since immemorial times. A legend filled with tragic events such as the dramas unfolded with these matadors: Pepete, Llusío, el Espartero, Domingo Dominguín, Faustino Posadas, Pedro Cañete & Manolete, in Linares (Jaén) in 1947.

Lagartijo a bull that fought on June 7th at the prestigious bullfight festival, Feria de San Isidro (Madrid) won the trophy as best bull in Las Ventas. That year he also achieved great success with their calves in the town of Arnedo in La Rioja. In 2000 Adolfo Martin returned to Las Ventas under the category of one of the most admired by those bullfight enthusiasts.

In the province of Cádiz at the foot of the Sierra de Grazalema, between the towns of San José del Valle y Algar, near the natural park "Los Alcornocales" is the reservoir, of "Guadalcacín". In its waters you can see cohabiting numerous birds: ducks, herons, egrets and other birds, but there is also something else. In one of its shore lies the meadow "Lo Romeral" where brave bulls are bred.


These bulls are born and raised among all these birds playing and laying in the reservoir shore with them. They have a beautiful gift from Mother Nature. These privileged beasts are marked with the ownership indicative iron of Fuente Ymbro and are property of Mr. Ricardo Gallardo, a gentleman which is proud to say that he is a hobby breeder and not by tradition.
