During her career in Spain, she cut a total of 316 bull ears. She retired in 1999 and got married in 2000 to the Portuguese banderillero Alexandre da Silva.

Sánchez was considered by many to be a representative of the feminist movement of the 1990s, as bullfighting is typically a male-dominated activity. Her fame even reached the United States, where Maria Celeste Arraras presented an article about her on Primer Impacto, the Univision TV show.
