Miura, Fighting bull ranch in Lora del Río, Spain

The Miura ranch spans across extensive fields where bulls develop in natural conditions among oak trees and wild asparagus throughout their growth phase.

Founded in 1849, the Miura ranch established its reputation through bulls that caused notable incidents, including the fatal injury of matador Manolete in 1947.

The name Miura carries such status in Spanish culture that automotive manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini named his first vehicle after these bulls in 1967.

The ranch maintains genetic preservation through a specialized bank in Colmenar Viejo, storing enough material to inseminate 1,000 cows for future breeding.

Research from the University of Complutense Madrid identifies Miura bulls as a distinct breed within the fighting bull category due to their genetic characteristics.
