Fería Goyesca de Pedro Romero (Ronda)
"The dance of the arena echoes the age-old passion, where the Goyesca style and the courage of Pedro Romero come together in a timeless spectacle of tradition and honour."
Feria Goyesca de Pedro Romero: Ronda at Its Best
In the first week of September, Ronda transforms into a vibrant festival destination during the annual Feria Goyesca de Pedro Romero. The city is adorned with traditional decorations, while lanterns and flags light up the streets. The festivities kick off in late August with the Cante Grande Festival, the presentation of the Goyesca Ladies, and the official announcement at the Blas Infante Auditorium.
A Week Full of Tradition and Spectacle
The official start of the Feria begins with an impressive parade of floats. The streets fill with locals and visitors eagerly awaiting one of the main highlights: the lighting of El Real. This moment marks the beginning of several days of music, dance, and celebration. Local wine flows abundantly, and the sounds of flamenco and other traditional music fill the air.
Goyesque Bullfight in the Historic Arena
A special highlight of this festive week is the Goyesque bullfight, held in the famous Plaza de Toros, one of Spain’s oldest and most iconic bullrings. The participants wear 18th-century costumes, creating a unique atmosphere that makes this tradition even more remarkable.
Live Music, Stalls, and Culinary Delights
Beyond the major events, the Feria offers a wide range of activities for all ages. The streets are lined with lively stalls, live music, and concerts, adding to the infectious festive spirit. Visitors can enjoy local specialties such as tapas, sweet treats, and, of course, the renowned wines of the region.
A Celebration Not to Be Missed
