Algeciras

The Real Fair of Algeciras is the big party of the town of Cádiz. It is declared of Tourist Interest and is celebrated the third week of June.

Like so many, it has its origin in the livestock fair, which continues to be held (it has already been 168 editions) and where the select cattle of the ‘retinta’ race are the protagonists. All the celebrations take place in the Parque Feria, presided over by the bullring Las Palomas, venue of the Bullfighting Fair, the other great event.
