The bull runs of San Sebastián de los Reyes marked the end of the Fiestas in Honor al Santísimo Cristo de los Remedios 2026 with a final race featuring bulls from the Montealto ranch. The herd completed the course to the corrals in 1 minute and 58 seconds, during an event that attracted approximately 1,600 runners, according to Civil Protection's assessment.
The medical team provided assistance on six occasions, mostly for minor falls. One person was transferred to the field hospital due to a hip contusion, with no serious injuries reported.
The Montealto bulls maintained a consistent and lively pace from the start, allowing for spectacular runs, particularly towards the end of the course. The bulls entered the plaza in 1 minute and 44 seconds.
This race served as the grand finale to a week of bull runs that have established San Sebastián de los Reyes as a key bullfighting reference point in the Community of Madrid during its patron saint festivals.
Pedro Martínez, head of Civil Protection, highlighted the significant participation in the final run, noting that it took place on a weekday.
The Councilor for Festivals and Security, Carlos Bolarín, positively assessed the choice of Montealto and the race's development. He also reviewed the festivals overall, emphasizing the historic sell-out at the La Tercera bullring and the increased attendance at the free concerts in the fairgrounds.
The Madrid town officially bids farewell to its festivals with the traditional 'Qué pena me da' event, concluding a week marked by bull runs and high participation in all scheduled activities.
