Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Toros en el campo de Salamanca








Beautiful photos by Gonzalo Escobar, taken on the Barcial ranch.

Barcial - creado a patir de una mezcla muy personal con vacas de Veragua y sementales de Santa Coloma, el encaste Vega-Villar ha sido perpetuado en el tiempo gracias a la familia Cobaleda. Afianzandose en los festejos de novillos, la quinta generacion de Barcial sigue e la lucha de devolver a esta divisa a los carteles de las grandes feridas de las que fue relegada.
