SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Gto.-  The inner courtyard of the Tourist Council Office (Oficina del Consejo de Turismo) serves as venue for the ‘Abstracciones Taurinas‘ painting exhibition, by artist Marisol Barroso.

The exhibit is a tribute to the “fiesta brava” and pay homage to famous fighting bull breeder ‘Pepe‘ Garfias de los Santos, with 50 years of experience as a “Ganadero de Toros de Lidia“.

Garfias said that his father decided that him and his brother Javier became cattle ranchers, and when he was a little bit older, in the year 1966, his father gave Garfias 50 cows and a bull. Since then, “Pepe” officially became a “Toro de Lidia” cattleman, and many triumphs came later, as he became one of the most renown breeders in Mexico”.
