Good health of the bulls in the Community of Madrid (the number of celebrations increases and the number of crowds increases)

According to data collected by the National Association of Bullshow Organizers (Anoet), this progress was primarily driven by bullfighting and bullfighting, along with popular ceremonies, where bullfighting has its roots. Thus, the total number of minced calves becomes 90 bulls, an increase of 2.27%. But the uncut shines with a more pronounced growth: 8.74%. This thrust into small celebrations invites optimistic reading: the promotion of a bullfighting quarry. In popular celebrations, the jump is 3.84%.

And it does not seem like a mirage: the Community of Madrid has restricted restrictions continuously since the end of the pandemic, by 17% above pre-pandemic levels. In addition, 9% of the municipalities saved these offers. Among the Inuit, this upward path is celebrated with the region’s Bull Festival.

Let’s remember that Madrid set their best record recently this season at Las Ventas, surpassing one million spectators: 1,008,226 souls shook in the arena of Alcala Street. The “No Tickets” sign was sold out by 18 noon, three more than the previous year.

In global numbers, the increase is close to 71,694 additional participants, with 62 celebrations in total – three up from 2024 – including the festival in honor of Antonio Chenel “Antonetti” and the final Camino towards Las Ventas. We’re talking about an average of 16,261 spectators per day.

Another piece of information: the record number of subscribers to the recent fall fair at the Cathedral of the Bulls, with 19,428 entries, the best number in the last fifteen years, and an objective thermometer of bullfighting enthusiasm, with a growing number of young people, and the big bet on Plaza 1. Thus debunking Ernst Urtasun’s trick: “Fewer and less people are going to the bulls.”
