The city of Ronda is celebrating the Pedro Romero Fair and Festivals, marked by the return of bullfighting following a two-year structural rehabilitation of the Real Maestranza de Caballería bullring. 

The festivities began with an official proclamation on August 20 by the Mayor of Grazalema, Carlos García. During his speech, García highlighted the solidarity shown by Ronda earlier in the year when the city provided refuge to over 600 Grazalema residents for 11 days following severe storms. The proclamation ceremony included a live painting by local artist Marcos Sánchez and participation from the Goyescas Ladies.

Scheduled cultural events include the LII International Folklore Gala, featuring groups from India, France, Mexico, and Easter Island, as well as the Concurso Exhibición de Enganches (Equestrian Carriage Exhibition) on September 6.

The reopening of the bullring was headlined by the 67th Corrida Goyesca, a central event dedicated to Antonio Ordóñez. This high-profile bullfighting event saw a highly anticipated turnout with sold-out tickets and high hotel occupancy in the city. 

During the performances, rejoneador Diego Ventura earned two ears, while bullfighters José María Manzanares and Juan Ortega also received two ears each. Morante de la Puebla, a central figure of the event poster, faced a more difficult afternoon with less impactful performances.
