Year after year, ritual and skill join hands to
stage Spain´s bullfighting season, which stretches from April
to October. The most important bullfight ferias - week-long events
which feature a corrida every afternoon - are held to coincide with
the yearly fairs of Sevilla, Córdoba, Jerez, El Puerto
de Santa María, Algeciras and Sanlúcar de Barrameda,
with others such as Ecija, Granada, Málaga, Almería,
Antequera, La Línea, Priego, Cabra, Pozoblanco, Villacarrillo,
Ubeda, Baeza, Jaén, Aroche, Almonaster la Real and Campofrío,
Higuera de la Sierra and Huelva.
Ronda holds a very popular type of bullfight
known as a "corrida goyesca" in early September, in which
the fighters dress in the costumes shown in Goya's famous 18th century
engravings.
