Bullfighting Tickets El Puerto de Santa María

The bullring of El Puerto de Santa María, one of Andalusia’s most iconic venues, once again takes centre stage in the summer season of 2025. While its main festival, dedicated to fine sherry wine, is celebrated in spring with a traditional novice bullfight, the true splendour of bullfighting unfolds in the height of summer.

For decades, this bullring has been a cultural and artistic symbol—not only for its importance in the world of bullfighting but also as a stage for significant musical, visual, and cinematic events. Its unique atmosphere has drawn famous personalities and become a focal point for both bullfighting enthusiasts and culture lovers alike.

The famous words of the legendary Joselito El Gallo, “He who has not seen a bullfight in El Puerto does not know what a bullfight day is,” continue to echo as a testament to the magic that surrounds this ring. Each year, the July novice fights and the much-anticipated bullfights on the early August weekends draw spectators from around the world, culminating in the grand bullfight on August 15th, an unmissable event in the bullfighting calendar.

The summer season in El Puerto is more than just a bullfighting event; it is a tradition that combines a passion for bullfighting with the vibrant character of the city and the charm of its coastal setting.
