VISIT THE LIVESTOCK BY 4X4
A tour around this estate of fighting bulls, accompanied at all times by a guide (agronomist, veterinarian or stockman) who will explain the breeding, selection and management of the livestock.
You will have chance to see animals ranging from mothers and their offspring, which have been born this year and which will be future bulls, to the largest specimens, which are ready to go to the bullring, and the stallions, steers and so on. You will be accompanied by an experienced rider, who will move the cattle around so that you can see how the horses work as cowherds, in the fields and with the bulls.
Next, you will take a walk to see the working horses, which live outdoors on the farm. You will also be able to explore our other facilities used for managing this type of livestock: the training ring, stockyards, seating stands, loading ramps etc.
The tour ends in the dining room of the country hotel that is part of the complex, with a tasting of Iberian meats: pork loin, ham, chorizo, salami and wine from Ribera del Duero.

DID YOU KNOW?
- The bull and Salamanca form an inseparable pair. For centuries fighting bulls have been bred on the pastures of Campo Charro, an ecosystem unique in the world, where numerous herds of fighting bulls graze.
- At FAENAS CAMPERAS we maintain these traditions much as they were when our ancestors began them, improving the species, incorporating local breeds such as the red pronghorn, and keeping our own breed of bullocks.
