During the days around the 15th of May, many concerts take place in the area of Las Vistillas, with artists such as Kiko Veneno, Rosana or Carlos Goñi. The music is complemented by performances by Universimad inside the Complutense University, and street-music performances that take place in the Plaza Mayor.

If this festival is famous for something, though, it’s for its popular bullfights: 24 bullfights, 3 training fights and 4 spear runs from the 8th of May until the 7th of June. Among the first swordsmen is the charismatic Morante de la Puebla, a legendary figure of modern-day bullfighting, and other big names like Julián López, El Juli or Sebastián Castella, for whose bullfight on May 27th there are no tickets remaining.

Whether you are coming to see the bullfighting or you are dropping by in the city, do not miss out on this festival. The best way to do it is to stay in the heart of Madrid, by the Puerta del Sol. Stay with us and enjoy our website’s special offers.
