Shade Seats (known as sombra) are on the covered side of the area that will protect you from the sun, making them a bit more comfortable to some. Sun Seats (known as sol) are in direct sunlight, so they can get pretty warm, but they are generally a little cheaper than the shade seats.

Seats at the Plaza de Toros are sold based on section and seating category (shade or sun), but actual seat numbers are assigned closer to the fiesta! We always do our best to put groups and families together, but we do suggest booking early to ensure you all can get a seat together!

How far in advance should I purchase my bullfight tickets for the Running of the Bulls?

Bullfight tickets are in very high demand as the Fiesta approaches, as it is a must see event, and many of the best seats and tickets for the best days sell out quickly! Booking in advance or booking a San Fermin Travel Package can ensure you get the best tickets we have available! 

Are Bullfights family-friendly?

The bullfights during San Fermin follow the traditional spanish bullfighting style, and may not be suitable for all audiences due to the nature of the event.

Viewer discretion is advised for small children, those with weak stomachs, and those who don’t enjoy the traditional style.
