In the charming city of Pontevedra, where Galician tradition blends with Atlantic beauty, bullfighting has found a place of respect and admiration. Among cobbled streets, stately manor houses, and the murmur of the Lérez River, the art of bullfighting is experienced as a unique cultural expression that combines elegance, excitement, and emotion. Pontevedra is a land where the passion for the fighting bull merges with the festive and welcoming spirit of Galicia.
One of the emblems of this city is the Pontevedra Bullring, popularly known as San Roque, which was inaugurated in 1892 and is the only bullring in operation in the whole of Galicia. With its traditional style and careful aesthetics, it is an undisputed benchmark for bullfighting in northwestern Spain.
With the arrival of summer and the month of August, during the Fiestas de la Peregrina, Pontevedra becomes a meeting point for bullfighting enthusiasts. Its bullfighting fair brings together top-level figures and renowned livestock farms in an atmosphere that combines tradition, joy, and Galician hospitality. It is an event that keeps the flame of bullfighting alive in a region where the art of the bull continues to inspire admiration and respect.
