Context
The traditional capea at Finca Los 3 Corrales takes place in Chinchón, located 45 km from Madrid, on a 90,000 m² rural estate featuring pine forests and ancient olive trees. From the hilltop, panoramic views stretch across the Jarama and Tajuña river valleys—offering a natural backdrop where taurine tradition meets rural landscape. The estate provides a spacious ruedo (ring) for capea with young heifers, supervised by a professional Director of Lidia to ensure safety and authenticity.
The Experience
The day begins with a welcome and safety briefing. You then actively participate in the capea, performing passes to the heifers under clear instructions, while the air carries the scent of thyme and dry earth. After this moderate physical activity, enjoy a traditional meal in the estate’s gardens, followed by a festive celebration with live music, karaoke, and swimming in the pool—where laughter and joyful sounds fill the air.
For Whom
This activity is ideal for adults over 18 with interest in taurine culture and rural traditions, seeking a countryside experience with a festive atmosphere. It is not suitable for people with limited mobility or those who avoid animal contact. A moderate level of physical fitness is required to participate actively.
Local Context
Chinchón is known for its taurine heritage and historic landmarks such as the Plaza Mayor and the Castillo de Casasola. Local shepherds continue the tradition of transhumance in the region. The local cuisine, highlighted during the capea, reflects regional identity and strengthens community ties to the land.
