Favourable circumstances as represented by Antonio Ordóñez led in 1954 to the celebration of the 2nd Centenary of the birth of Pedro Romero. For the occasion a goyesca bullfight was organised, that is with the adornments, costume and apparatus typical of the times of the Aragonese painter Francisco de Goya, a contemporary of Pedro and his brother José Romero, whose portraits he painted. The bullfight took place on 9 September with a programme made up of Antonio Bienvenida, César Girón and Cayetano Ordóñez, the eldest son of Niño de la Palma and the person behind the initiative. Organised as a competition of ranches, there were bulls belonging to Miura, Concha y Sierra, Federico Bartolomé, Pablo Romero, Buendía and Francisco Figueira. The bullfight opened with Antonio Bienvenida and the Miura bull «Pajarraco». After an interval of two years, similar bullfights took place in 1957 and 1958, this time with the participation of Antonio Ordóñez. The driving force behind the goyesca bullfights, he using his position as impresario of the Ronda bullring to turn the event into one of the annual highlights of the bullfighting season as well as a great social and cultural occasion.

Nowadays the goyesca costume bullfights are the highlight of the Pedro Romero Fair that takes place each year at the beginning of September in the Ronda bullring. Organised by Francisco Rivera Ordóñez, in imitation of his grandfather as the impresario of the Ronda ring, the fair also includes a traditional bullfight with lances (rejones) and a bullfight without picadors for the pupils of schools of bullfighting. An exhibition of carriages, organised by the Royal Club of Carriages of Andalusia, Ronda Town Council and the Real Maestranza de Caballería of Ronda, is the wonderful final touch of the festivities held annually in the Ronda bullring.
