Lienzo charro

A lienzo charro is an arena where charros hold the events of charreada, torneo de colas and bull riding.

A lienzo has two areas: one 60 by 12 metres (197 ft × 39 ft) and a second, circular area 40 metres (130 ft) in diameter. Charreada is a team competition in which teams go head-to-head to win points in different competitions. The team with the most points at the end wins. The torneo de colas, also known as the coleadero, is a multi- or single-competitor event in which a mounted charro throws a bull to the ground by catching its tail, wrapping it under his leg, and making a turn. The lienzo charro may be enclosed to accommodate bull-riding competitions.
