Bullfight tickets Jerez 2025
Horse Fair, Jerez 2025
The Feria del Caballo is the most important festival held in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), the week that locals eagerly anticipate all year to dress up and celebrate. It has been declared an event of International Tourist Interest, attracting visitors from all over the world who come for the horses, the wine, the flamenco, the gastronomy and, of course, the bullfighting. The fair begins one week after the Seville April Fair (which, in turn, depends on the dates of Holy Week); in 2025, bullfighting events will take place on 17th, 18th, 23rd and 24th May.
The Feria del Caballo has its roots in the old medieval livestock markets, where the finest Andalusian horses were traded. Today, the equestrian spirit remains stronger than ever at the Real del Parque González Hontoria, with over 250 casetas (marquees) bursting with music, joy and hospitality from dawn until well into the early hours.
The fair officially opens with the lighting of thousands of decorative lights and a fireworks display. A full week of activities follows: caseta decoration contests, singing and dancing performances throughout the day, tapas competitions, horse parades… Men usually dress in traditional short jackets and riding breeches if they are on horseback, while women wear flamenco dresses. In the evenings, semi-formal attire is customary. As for the equestrian events, there are parades of riders, “acoso y derribo” (herding and knocking down cattle) competitions, traditional dressage, carriage driving exhibitions and morphological horse contests.
At the heart of all the festivities lies the bullfighting fair, a key date in the calendar thanks to the quality of the line-ups and the unrivalled atmosphere.
Official tickets are now on sale at Servitoro.

Love for the Andalusian horse
There are Tartessian pieces from the 7th century BC that testify to the love of horses in Andalusia. C. that testify to the love of horses in Andalusia. Part of this story has its origins in two brothers from Jerez who practised the mysterious trade of blacksmiths at the beginning of the 19th century: they crossed an old Carthusian stallion with a Percheron mare tired of rattling along the roads carrying goods from one side to the other. The crossing turned out to be as magical as the brothers’ profession and the mare gave birth to two foals, a male and a female, both singular, but mainly the colt, with qualities and beauty like no other mare in Jerez had ever seen before. From this colt, which was given the miserable name of Esclavo by his masters, it is not known why, it can be said, without fear of error, that the most spirited horses in the stables of Jerez today come from this colt.
During the 20th century, Jerez’s tremendous love of horses has been reflected in the events that reveal the quality of this hobby: The celebration of the Semana del Caballo (Horse Week), whose first edition took place in 1954, and the foundation, in 1973, of the Real Escuela de Arte Ecuestre, under the guidance of Álvaro Domecq, is known worldwide for the show “Cómo bailan los caballos andaluces” in the palace of Abrantes or de las Cadenas, where the show Así bailan los caballos andaluces, which has been performed all over the world, can be seen ever since.
The horses are the best examples of Pura Raza Española. Impossible jumps in the air, spins, controlled gallops, carriages. The rapport between man and horse is such that sometimes during the show you don’t know where one ends and the other begins.
