On Day 4 we visit a ‘Ganaderia’, or bull farm. These are the 'Toros,' or bulls.
The private bullring (plaza de toros) on the farm where bulls are selected.
The names of the noteworthy bulls killed in corridas (bull fights), the name of the matador, sometimes the weight of the toro (the tiles are on the bullring wall).
Tinajero was the name of the toro ‘Indultado’, who was saved and not killed because of his particular strength. SO after the fight he was sent back to this farm to become a stallion. Interesting...
Outside our hotel Monasterio San Francisco.
We stop at Bodegas Aragon y Cia on Day 7, for visit, tasting of 4 different wines (FIno, Amontillado, Pedro XImenz and a young one) and lunch. www.aragonycia.com
Goat cheese marinated in olive oil, very typical of this region.
