However, his priority is his career, which he has been cultivating since his presentation in Las Ventas as a bullfighter in 2015, when he was only 19 years old. A life dedicated to the bull in which his family has played a fundamental role thanks to its tradition in this world: his grandfather He was for a long time administrator of the bullring in Lima (Peru), his uncle José Antonio He was a bullfighter and his brother, who was also a bullfighter, has recently served as his new representative.

This decision only highlights how close Andrés is to his family. If his brother is his right hand in the market, his father is his right hand in business.

Two properties appear in the name of the company, a store in the center of Seville located on one of the best-known streets in the capital of Seville and a farm in Gerena. They bought the first one in 2019, shortly after establishing the company; the second in May 2020. This acquisition had at the time a great public impactsince it was the first property that the Peruvian bought on Spanish soil – he already had an important estate in his homeland –, as part of the bullfighting tradition.
It is neither more nor less than ‘La Consentida’, a spin-off of ‘La Caprichosa’, the estate of the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst with a farmhouse designed by the famous architect Aníbal González, architect of the Plaza de España in Seville. Years after acquiring it and renovating it to adapt it to her tastes, Joanne Hearst Castro, granddaughter of the founder of Hearst Corporation, built her a farmhouse a few meters from hers inspired by the one designed by González, which they named ‘La Consentida’.

There, Roca Rey distances itself from the madding crowd, surround yourself with friends and familyrests when the season allows it and also trains when necessary.
An oasis for this bullfighter who has found his home in Spain.
