The 2026 Fiestas de la Misericòrdia in Burriana have officially begun, featuring a program of bullfighting and gastronomic events. The festivities commenced with the release of the bull Matayeguas from the El Parralejo ranch in the Plaza Mayor.

The bullfighting schedule includes 19 bulls from various national ranches, with specific events such as ‘encierros’, ‘vaquillas’, and ‘embolados’. The opening weekend featured various activities, including bull entries, exhibitions, and ‘embolades’ involving livestock from ranches such as Nacho Claramonte, El Parralejo, Carmen Valiente, and Murteira Grave. Other highlights include an urban transhumance of Avilesa breed cattle through the Barranquet.

A notable event is scheduled for September 7 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bull Commission (Comissió del Bou) with the release of the bull Tutor. Additionally, the town has inaugurated the ‘Mesón del Vino y de la Tapa’ at Terrassa Payà, a gastronomic hub intended for residents and visitors to enjoy local wine and tapas through September 13.

To support public safety during the celebrations, the Burriana City Council has implemented the ‘Espai Segur’ initiative. This program includes a ‘Punto Violeta’ to combat violence against women and a ‘Punto Verde’ for addiction prevention. Managed by a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, and educators, the initiative provides confidential assistance regarding harassment and chemical submission. Community engagement has been fostered through interactive activities such as ‘El Muro del Buen Trato’ and ‘El Árbol de las Buenas Decisiones’ to encourage respectful coexistence. As of September 11, the ‘Espai Segur’ has seen high participation during the festivities.
