Castellón 2025 bullfighting tickets

The 2025 Magdalena Festival in Castellón promises an extraordinary display of culture, tradition, and celebration, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the authentic festivities of the Valencian Community. Declared an International Tourist Interest Event in 2010, this festival takes place each year starting on the third Saturday of Lent, spanning nine days of unique events that fill the streets of Castellón with life, music, and colour. Uniquely, the dates of this festival vary each year between February, March, and April, and in 2025 it will run from 22 to 30 March, strategically aligning with the Valencia Fallas Festival so that visitors can experience both celebrations.

In 2025, the official holidays will fall on 24 and 28 March (Monday and Friday), allowing both tourists and locals to plan their visits and fully enjoy the highlights of the Magdalena. During this week, Castellón transforms into a hub of local traditions: ‘collas’ (or groups of friends) fill the streets in traditional dress, parades and processions recreate the city’s history, and Mediterranean skies light up with fireworks each night.

At the heart of this celebration are the bullfights in Castellón’s Plaza de Toros, where top matadors gather to honour this iconic tradition. The taurine festival has firmly placed Castellón on Spain’s bullfighting calendar, with a series that combines bullfights and popular spectacles.
