Fiesta
Feria de Pedro Romero, Ronda
The one Andalusian fair built around a single afternoon — and in 2026 the bullring reopens after two years of works.
- Dates
- 1–6 September 2026 — Corrida Goyesca on Saturday 5 September
Ronda’s feria honours Pedro Romero, the eighteenth-century matador who codified bullfighting on foot. Most of the week is a normal town fair. The reason people travel for it is one afternoon: the Corrida Goyesca, on the Saturday, when the ring is dressed as it would have been in Goya’s time and the participants wear period costume.
It is held in the Plaza de Toros de Ronda, one of the oldest bullrings in Spain, and tickets sell out. In 2026 it is the 67th edition, and the ring reopens after two years of restoration work.
Bullfighting divides people, and it is worth saying plainly: this is a bullfight, not a re-enactment. If that is not for you, the town during feria week is still worth the trip — the streets, the horses and the Goyesca parade cost nothing.
Ronda is about an hour and a half from Málaga. See the Ronda travel guide, the Puente Nuevo, and the white villages around it.
