Most of the city comes out to enjoy the spectacle, if you are visiting the city make sure you are aware that it will be very crowded and book your accommodation in advance.

Los Toros Bullfighting

Revered by many locals bullfighting is a big part of Spanish culture although many are now not happy with the way the festival is undertaken and the treatment of the bulls.

The festival is in early May each year and there is an upbeat and colourful parade that marches through the streets of Seville, this is considered one of the city’s most important religious festival. Corpus Christi is Latin for the body of Christ and Spanish people are generally known to take religious festivals very seriously.
