This historic venue has firmly established itself as the second most important bullring in the region in terms of both prestige and number of events, behind only Las Ventas. The structure of its season, managed by Circuitos Taurinos<\/strong> de Carlos Z\u00fa\u00f1iga<\/strong>, demonstrates that a second-tier bullring can put together a fair with the standards, seriousness and appeal of any first-class venue.<\/p>\n

Colmenar Viejo is part of an environment in which the fighting bull is very much at the heart of local life. The municipality has strong ties to cattle breeding and the historic dehesas of the Sierra de Madrid. This close relationship with bull breeding means that the bulls entering the ring at La Corredera are always expected to meet high standards of presentation and physical presence. For the 2026 edition, the programme offers an impressive variety of breeding lines<\/strong>, combining established international names, French breeding ranches and essential support for local breeders.<\/p>\n
