Spain is, according to the UNESCO, the second country in World Heritage Patrimony, and great part of it is found in Andalucía.

Due to its geostrategic location between the south of Europe and Africa, throughout history Andalucía has been under the influence of countless civilizations and all of them have left their cultural impront. It happens as well that the different conquerors, far from destroying their predecessors’ art, have respected it, turning us into a canvas where phoenitian, roman, arab, and christian elements of all styles fuse together in the most natural manner, something unbelievable in other parts of the world.

We will help you discover all this treasures by the hand of the best experts in each monument, museum or style.

Brave bulls are one of the symbols of Spain but strange enough they are mainly known through their most controversial side: The moment of their death at the bullring.

However, what is unknown by most people is the beauty, respect and love that involves the breading and life of this magnificent animal.

Hundreds of people in Spain devote their lives to the preservation of this race, unique in the world, that already coexisted with men in prehistorical times. The brave bull lives in freedom in beautiful country sites during 6 full years, time during which, it’s taken care of according to ancestral traditions full of respect and worship to the bull.

The truth of the bullfight is to have a mystery to tell and to be able to tell it. Everything involved in the bullfighting has a why and a significance. We will show you the meaning of every detail, form the different actors of the performance such as “picadores” or “banderilleros” to the significance of the rituals done in the arena.
