Horseback Riding with 2 Cattle and Party in Villarrobledo

Context The capea in Villarrobledo takes place on a typical La Mancha rural estate, featuring a private, standard-sized bullring designed specifically for capea events. Located just 4 km from the town center, this countryside setting offers an authentic atmosphere where the scent of dry earth and thyme lingers throughout the day. The event runs in spring, summer, and autumn, taking advantage of the mild weather ideal for outdoor celebrations.

The Experience The day begins with a welcome and safety briefing. Then, in the bullring, participants engage with two young bulls in a supervised capea using full safety gear. The rhythmic sound of hooves and the energetic movement of the bulls fill the air as guests take part in the tradition. After the capea, enjoy a traditional Manchegan meal paired with a free bar of beer and local summer red wine. The afternoon continues with live music, free cocktail service, and a festive dinner with a performance to close the celebration. Finally, overnight accommodation at a nearby hotel allows for rest after the full-day event.

For Whom This activity is ideal for adults over 18 who seek a lively, traditional celebration with light physical activity. It’s especially suited for groups of friends on bachelor parties or similar events, with group sizes between 5 and 30 people. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility or those who avoid environments with alcohol.
