El Freixo, Fighting bull breeding estate in Olivenza, Spain.
El Freixo is a breeding estate located in meadows with holm oak and cork oak trees in Olivenza. The property maintains and develops a line of bulls selected for their characteristics in bullfighting.
The estate began in 2007 when bullfighter Julián López 'El Juli' established it using cattle stock from Paco Ojeda and Las Ramblas breeding lines. This foundation shaped the animals raised on the property.
The ranch supports Spain's bullfighting tradition by supplying animals for major events and regional celebrations. Its role in the March Olivenza bullfighting fair demonstrates its importance to local heritage.
Visitors can observe the breeding operations during organized tours that explain how animals are selected and managed. It is helpful to contact ahead to confirm availability and arrangement of visits.
The bulls here carry distinctive physical marks that set them apart: a split on the left ear and a specific mark on the right ear. These markings, along with light blue and gold colors, serve as the ranch's identification.
