54th Corrida Goyesca in Ronda
One of Ronda’s biggest annual events, the Corrida Goyesca in its 54th year. 2010 saw less fans than in previous years, though the Goyesca outfits still impressed.
Corrida Goyesca
The annual Corrida Goyesca created by ‘el maestro’, Antonio Ordoñez, and now in its sixth decade. The corridas occur during the lst three days of the Pedro Romero Feria, and are known for being the only bullfights that occur in Ronda. This is also the time for the young ladies of Ronda to shine as Damas Goyesca, or in the best feria dresses. The corridas are split over three days, the juniors on the Friday evening, the big stars of bullfighting on the Saturday evening, and the stars of mounted bullfighting on the Sunday afternoon.
