Ana Romero Returns to Top Bullrings in 2026

The Ana Romero ranch faces 2026 as a pivotal season in its recent history. The Cádiz-based ranch, with its Santa Coloma-Buendía lineage, will once again fight bulls in top-tier bullrings, with Dax as its main focus this year. This return stems from a coherent, well-defined concept of the bull and meticulous planning.

From the Las Cobatillas ranch in Alcalá de los Gazules, Lucas Carrasco continues to set a clear course. “I want brave bulls, bulls that convey emotion and add significance to the performances,” he explains. An animal that demands, with rhythm in its charge, but that maintains class, breeding, and commitment when things are done right.

Last season left a positive impression despite its brevity. The bullfight held in Azpeitia was recognized as the best of the San Sebastián and San Ignacio festivals, in addition to the outstanding presence of bulls in the Chenel Cup and the competition bullfight in Villaseca de la Sagra. These results validate a strategy based on fighting fewer bulls, but with greater demands.

Dax will be the major challenge of 2026. “Regaining the trust of such a venue is both a responsibility and an honor,” acknowledges Carrasco, aware that a small herd relies heavily on a few events for much of the year. The roadmap is completed with Azpeitia and Villaseca, along with the plan to keep five-year-old bulls to continue competing for top-tier venues in the future.

In terms of morphology, Ana Romero maintains a very recognizable type of bull: short, with a compact frame and larger horns, perfectly suited to her vision and without compromise.

“The easy thing would be to change in order to get into every venue, but I prefer to remain true to my idea,” she concludes.

Ana Romero is thus returning to the top bullrings in 2026, drawing on the patience of the countryside and the strength of her own livestock model.
