The Feria Taurina de Begoña is the heart and soul of Gijón’s festivities, a deeply rooted tradition that brings art and excitement to the city’s festive calendar. Every year, around the week of August 15th, the Plaza de Toros de El Bibio becomes the stage where the essence of bullfighting is brought to life, attracting both dedicated fans and curious visitors. This event, traditionally spanning six afternoons, features bullfights, rejoneo (mounted bullfighting), and a novice bullfight, preserving a custom that honours the feast of Our Lady of Begoña, the city’s patron saint.

The art of bullfighting resonates as a tribute to Asturias’ cultural roots, bringing together top figures in the bullfighting world and the best breeders of the moment. With carefully selected line-ups, the fair guarantees afternoons of the highest interest, filling the Plaza de Toros de El Bibio to the brim. For this reason, Servitoro recommends booking tickets as early as possible to ensure you don’t miss this unique event.

A must-attend event for all bullfighting enthusiasts that you simply cannot miss.
