“ I really didnt know what to expect – and too be honest when we arrived I still wasnt sure about it – but I have to tell you as adrenalin rushes go – there is nothing that comes close – nothing!! An incredible day out, so thank you and I will recommend this to all my friends – just to see if they have those cojones you were talking about! Cheers again!

Capea

If sitting back at the Bullfighting Arena "a la Orson Welles" is a little too sedate for you; then why don't you have a go yourself! You become the bullfighter!
A capea is essentially a "baby bullfight" and non lethal.We take you to a private Finca,with its own Plaza de Torros, situated 45 minutes from the city centre. This is where the young bulls (known as vaquillas)
are trained and where the young star Matadors learn their craft. You will get to show off your prowess and skill in front of your mates and err a charging bull! But don't worry too much, its not fully grown -Yet!

You can participate as much or as little as you want -for some once is enough for others- they discover the matador inside them. It definetly sorts the men from the boys!

Afterwards enjoy a sumptious meal, washed down with a fine Rioja and the inevitable beginning of a legend for the best mans speech!

Price:
from 85 Euros per person includes lunch, english speaking guide and return coach transfers.
