[1] Cristina Sánchez de Pablos was born on 20 February 1972 in Madrid, Spain.

[citation needed] She was a professional bullfighter at bullrings in Ecuador and Mexico and undertook many presentations and demonstrations in Spain.

Standing as her "godfather" was Curro Romero, while José Mari Manzanares stood as witness.

[citation needed] Sánchez was considered by some to be a representative of the feminist movement of the 1990s, as bullfighting is typically a male-dominated activity.

[3] She was also the subject of the Univision TV news program Primer Impacto, where Maria Celeste Arraras presented an article about her.
