San Sebastián Bullfighting Week 2026 Illumbe Tickets

San Sebastián's Big Week Bullfighting Festival 2026

San Sebastián's Big Week Bullfighting Festival 2026 will once again transform the city into one of the leading events on the Spanish bullfighting calendar. Coinciding with the Aste Nagusia (Bilbao's main festival), the iconic Illumbe Bullring will host a festival that brings together top bullfighting figures, promising young talents, and renowned ranches each year.

San Sebastián's bullfighting tradition dates back to the 19th century, when the city began organizing events to coincide with the August festivities. Throughout its history, the festival has featured the most important bullfighters of each era, establishing itself as an essential event for fans from the Basque Country as well as visitors from all over Spain and abroad.

Today, the Big Week Bullfighting Festival maintains this prestige thanks to top-tier lineups, which typically include leading figures in the bullfighting world alongside emerging bullfighters and top-level rejoneadores (mounted bullfighters). The city's festive atmosphere, combined with San Sebastián's cultural, gastronomic, and tourist offerings, makes each bullfighting event a unique experience.

At the Official Ticket Office, you can securely purchase your tickets for the 2026 San Sebastián Bullfighting Week, choosing the seat that best suits your preferences to enjoy one of the most important bullfighting festivals in northern Spain.
