Bullfights in Granada

Every June, the Corpus Christi festival takes Granada by storm, wooing the crowds with carnivals, parades and the annual feria. Although the roots of Corpus Christi are religious, nowadays the festival is celebrated in carnival style, with entertaining parades, along with plenty of feasting and dancing.

The Corpus Christi also marks the start of Granada’s bullfighting season. Bullfights are held each day of the Corpus Christi week, with matadors ranging from novices to world-famous experts strutting their stuff every evening. These bullfights are held at Granada’s Plaza de Toro and tickets sell fast – so get them in advance, don´t wait til last minute!

A bullfight traditionally features three alternating bullfighters, or “toreros,” each of whom go up against two bulls. The sport certainly isn’t for everyone, but if you really want to dive head-first into Andalucían culture, check it out!
