Arnedo Bullfighting Fair 2025
One of the most awaited festivities of the season, San José is celebrated in grand style in Arnedo. In its modern, covered, and comfortable bullring, top matadors take the stage. Outside, a wide array of attractions awaits visitors of all tastes and budgets. What are you waiting for?
The Heart of the Fair
Internationally renowned in the bullfighting world for its famous Zapato de Oro (Golden Shoe) competition, the city of Arnedo also boasts another major event: the San José Bullfighting Fair. Every March, as the bullfighting season awakens, the capital of footwear gears up for a weekend of festivity and excitement. A thrilling prelude to the September fair, which is more solemn and focused but equally dedicated to bulls.
Dates and Events
The event is set for Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd March. The highlight takes place on Saturday, featuring Diego Urdiales, Alejandro Talavante, and Juan Ortega, facing bulls from the prestigious Jandilla ranch. A lineup worthy of any major bullfighting fair, with three toreros who regularly grace the most prominent arenas and season tickets.
Since its inauguration in 2010, Arnedo Arena has hosted legendary bullfighters such as Morante de la Puebla, Roca Rey, and even the iconic José Tomás. This year, three matadors with distinct styles will take the ring, each bringing their own interpretation of the art of bullfighting but united by a common trait: they know how to fight bulls. And they do it brilliantly.
A Stage for Rising Stars
On Sunday 23rd, young novilleros (apprentice bullfighters) will compete for the prestigious Zapato de Plata (Silver Shoe) against bulls from the Galvarin ranch. The contenders—David Gutiérrez (Badajoz), Diego Mateos (Salamanca), and Javier Torres “Bombita” (Seville)—will showcase their talent in one of the most significant competitions for emerging bullfighters.
