Horseback Bullfighting in Bayonne - Bayonne Festivals 2026

Dive into the heart of the Bayonne Festivals 2026 for a unique and spectacular experience: a horseback bullfight, or "rejoneo", where the elegance of riders meets the power of bulls.

This Saturday, July 18th at 6:30 PM, the Bayonne Arenas will host three major figures of this demanding discipline: Andy Cartagena, Léa Vicens, and Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza, the latter having already made a strong impression during his recent performance in Pampeluna.

The program features a show where precision, courage, and tradition blend to offer spectators an unforgettable evening. The iconic and historic arenas will be the stage for intense confrontations, where every movement of the rider and every charge of the bull will captivate the audience.

A rare opportunity to discover or rediscover this form of bullfighting, combining equestrian art and bravery, in a festive and warm atmosphere, typical of the Bayonne Festivals.
