The Vid de Oro Novilladas Fair in Arganda del Rey is set for its most attended edition yet after reaching a historic high in season ticket sales.

The event, now in its 37th edition, has surpassed 1,500 tickets sold, marking a milestone for the local festivities. In response to the high demand, the City Council has begun work on the Arganda Bullring, a venue with over 400 years of history.
Assembly work will continue over the next 15 days to ensure the venue is ready for the start of the Patron Saint Festivities, which begin on September 5th.

"It is something we have never seen before. Thanks to everyone, and especially to the young people, who will attend in large numbers this year like never before, with a special grandstand we debuted in 2023 that has changed everything."

Alberto Escribano · Mayor of Arganda del Rey
