Initially, the regional government announced plans for 2027 to defend the practice, boost tourism, and restructure the Andalusian Council of Bullfighting Affairs to include more parliamentary representation. This early phase included plans to modify regulations for portable bullrings and increase televised coverage of festivities. Following these announcements, the Government Council of Andalusia approved the ‘Andalusian Bullfighting Strategy,’ a comprehensive framework extending through 2030. This long-term plan is built upon six pillars: cultural recognition, professional training, economic promotion, regulatory modernization, social dialogue, and digital innovation. The strategy seeks to address contemporary social and environmental challenges while emphasizing the sector’s impact on rural environments, fighting bull ranching, and the conservation of the dehesa. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Andalusia approves first bullfighting strategy through 2030 Andalusia has approved its first bullfighting strategy to run until 2030, focusing on cultural protection, economic sustainability, and professional training to modernize the sector. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andalusia-approves-first-bullfighting-strategy-through-2030 ### 2026-09-06: Andalucía to launch strategy to protect bullfighting Andalucía will implement a new strategy by early 2027 to protect bullfighting from political attacks and boost its economic impact through increased local events and portable bullrings. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andaluca-to-launch-strategy-to-protect-bullfighting --- Cite as: Andalusia bullfighting protection strategy.
