Among authorities and cultural representatives, the Festival delegate, Narciso Vital, highlighted the career of Lobato Reinoso, who revealed the details of his work: "It is an honor to capture the essence of our fair, where tradition and modernity coexist." The artist, visibly moved, confessed: "Being part of the history of this festival is a dream come true."
"The Fair is already in the air"
Mayor Álvarez emphasized the unique nature of the event: "It's not just a fair; it's the heartbeat of Sanlúcar, a heritage we share with those who visit us." With a nod to the future, she announced: "This edition will be unforgettable," while the Manzanilla Anthem and a toast with the city's flagship wine closed the event.
The Manzanilla Fair in Sanlúcar de Barrameda will take place at the fairgrounds located on Calzada Duquesa Isabel and adjacent streets, including its fantastic promenade, next to an incomparable setting where this city, with its unique light and sunset, merges with the landscape of Doñana National Park and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, from May 27th to June 2nd, which is known as "Hangover Monday."
A date with tradition
The Manzanilla Fair, true to its essence, will once again unite art, flamenco, gastronomy, and that Sanlúcar spirit that transcends borders in 2025. A preview of what will be a week where the rebujito, the horses and the booths will write another chapter of this centuries-old festival.
Another of the must-see events of the Manzanilla Fair are the bulls in the Sanlúcar Bullring with the masters Miguel Ángel Perera and Alejandro Talavante, who contribute their classicism and maturity, being two of the great winners of last season, opening the Puerta del Príncipe of the Maestranza de Sevilla and the Sanlúcar bullfighter Germán Vidal ‘El Melli’
At the Manzanilla Fair 2025 there is also room for those who are starting out in the profession, the future bullfighters, since on Friday, May 30, a practical class novillada will be held, which belongs to the XXVII Cycle of Becerradas of the Bullfighting Schools of Andalusia. Bulls from the Diego Curiel stable will enter the arena for the novilleros Alejandro Aguado, Javier Martínez, Pablo Galván, Paco de Sara, Javier Caro, and Bruno Aza.
