Córdoba 2026 pays tribute to El Cordobés and opens bookings

Córdoba has officially begun the countdown to its 2026 Feria de Nuestra Señora de la Salud, combining tradition with early ticket access. This year’s edition stands out for its tribute to Manuel Benítez ‘El Cordobés’ and the launch of advance reservations through Servitoro.

Presented at the Círculo de la Amistad, the fair will revolve around the legendary V Caliph of bullfighting, celebrating his legacy as he approaches his 90th birthday. The official poster, created by Javier Díaz Yáñez, highlights Córdoba’s historic connection with one of its most iconic figures.

Beyond the symbolic tribute, the fair takes a step forward in its structure. Lances de Futuro has expanded the programme to five events, reinforcing a more ambitious and appealing format for both seasoned fans and new audiences.

The line-up combines established stars with emerging names shaping the current season. Among the highlights are David de Miranda, Borja Jiménez, Daniel Luque and Juan Ortega, alongside local rising talent Manuel Román. The fair will conclude with a high-profile bullfight featuring José María Manzanares, Juan Ortega and Pablo Aguado, as well as a rejoneo event included in the programme.

One of the key developments this year is that fans can now secure their seats in advance. Servitoro has activated its booking system, allowing spectators to guarantee their tickets ahead of the official box office sales—highly recommended given the expected demand.

Season ticket holders can renew their seats from 28 April to 1 May, while new season tickets will be available on 4 and 5 May.

With heritage, star power and promising newcomers, Córdoba 2026 is shaping up to be one of the must-attend events of the season—now with the added advantage of booking your tickets in advance.
