Córdoba is one of the birthplaces of bullfighting. The history and taurine tradition of the province is very rich and extensive. Already in 1492 there is evidence of the celebration of a bullfighting festival in the courtyard of the Cordovan Alcázar on the occasion of the surrender of Granada and to the delight of Prince Don Juan of Spain. Many have been the outstanding characters, in all the fields of bullfighting, that Córdoba has given over the centuries.
And five are the Caliphs of bullfighting, born there: Lagartijo, Guerrita, Machaquito, Manolete and El Cordobés.
After thirteen years without bullfighting celebrations, in 2017 the Bullfighting Fair was recovered with Montes de Oca steers for the horseback-bullfighters José Antonio Mancebo and Ginés Cartagena and the debutant Luis Sánchez Zambrano. They all went out on shoulders ('Puerta Grande') and the cattle rancher went around the ring.
In 2018 a mixed bullfight was held with a Prieto de la Cal bull for the horseback-bullfighter Ana Rita; two from Albarreal and two from Soto de la Fuente for the bullfighters Javier Conde and Julio Benítez 'El Cordobés'; with all of them on shoulders.
