Within the collection of the Charrería Museum is kept with special reverence a symbolic treasure: the key to the city of Madrid. This small but significant object was kindly given by the Mayor of Madrid to the Mexican Charrería Federation in a gesture that transcends borders and marked a historic chapter in the relationship between Spain and Mexican charrería.

The event took place in 1977, when Dr. Jose Islas, then president of the Mexican Federation of Charreria, undertook a historic journey full of camaraderie and recognition. The presentation of the key to the city of Madrid stands as a gesture of deep appreciation and respect for the rich tradition of charrería, which has transcended generations and borders.

This distinction not only highlights the importance of charrería in the cultural and sporting context, but also underlines the close historical relationship between Mexico and Spain. Through this gesture, the shared heritage is honored and the bonds of friendship that unite both nations are strengthened.

The key to the city of Madrid, kept in this little box, stands as a tangible symbol of the deep connection between charrería and the history of Spain. It is a reminder that charrería is not only a sport, but also an expression of identity and tradition that transcends borders and unites peoples in a bond of mutual appreciation. This treasure enriches the heritage of the Museo de la Charrería, offering visitors the opportunity to reflect on the importance of charrería in building cultural and friendly bridges between nations.
