The Feria del Caballo in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía, is a renowned annual festival celebrating Andalusian horse culture, flamenco, and local traditions. Scheduled for May 9-16, 2026, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors, including international tourists, expats, and equestrian enthusiasts from across Spain and Europe. The event is officially recognized as a Fiesta of International Tourist Interest, highlighting its cultural significance and appeal. Central to the fair is the Pura Raza Española (PRE) horse, a historic and influential breed known for its intelligence, strength, and classical riding heritage, with Jerez being a key center for its breeding and presentation.

The festival features daily parades of horses and carriages, traditional Andalusian attire, and equestrian exhibitions such as dressage and doma vaquera, showcasing Spain’s rich horsemanship traditions. Flamenco music and dance are integral to the celebration, with visitors enjoying live performances and traditional cuisine in decorated casetas (marquees). Unlike typical horse competitions, the Feria del Caballo uniquely integrates equestrian culture into the city’s public life, making it one of Europe’s leading horse festivals and a vital event in Andalucía’s cultural calendar.
