What makes the Pedro Romero Fair one of the most emblematic celebrations in Andalusia? Find out as we take you on a tour of this incredible festival.
When September begins, Ronda is transformed into a scene full of life and colour. During the first week of the month, the town is decked out to offer everyone, locals and visitors alike, a wide and diverse range of cultural and entertainment activities. The Pedro Romero Fair and Festivities is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year, and visitors are treated to a festive atmosphere that combines tradition, culture and fun.
Among the most outstanding events, the Ronda International Folklore Gala is an event that no one should miss. This festival, held in the Blas Infante Auditorium, is the oldest in Andalusia and one of the most prestigious in Spain. Every year, it brings together folk groups from more than 50 countries, a sample of the richness of world folklore, where music and dance intertwine to offer a unique spectacle.
Another key moment will be the Cabalgata, a parade full of tradition and elegance. In this event, the Goyesca ladies will wear their traditional costumes, one of the most representative symbols of the fair. The Goyescas, with their elegance and bearing, pay tribute to the figure of Pedro Romero and the Ronda of times gone by, creating a bridge between history and the present.
In addition to these events, both children and adults will be able to enjoy the fair in the city centre, a space in the heart of the city that offers activities for the whole family. Here, the little ones will find games and attractions, while adults can enjoy a varied programme of concerts in the municipal stand, ensuring entertainment for all ages. The fair becomes a meeting place, where music, food and good company mix to create a unique atmosphere.
A journey through the history of the Fair and Festivities of Pedro Romero
The Fair and Festivities of Pedro Romero is one of the most emblematic celebrations in the province of Malaga. Its roots are to be found in the San Francisco neighbourhood, where it began more than a century ago, until 1881, when it moved to the Mercadillo neighbourhood. In 1954, this September fair adopted the name of Pedro Romero fair, in homage to the illustrious bullfighter from Ronda, who is a fundamental figure in the history of Spanish bullfighting.
