Traditional Capea with Rebujitos in Collado Mediano

Context The traditional capea in Collado Mediano takes place in a rural environment within the Sierra de Guadarrama, about 45 minutes from Madrid. This small municipality preserves its countryside character, where traditional bull-related festivities are held outdoors. The event occurs on a farm with an open ring, where two young bulls are released for controlled interaction with participants.

The Experience The event begins with a welcome and safety briefing. For roughly 40 minutes, participants engage with the bulls in the ring, surrounded by the scent of thyme carried on the breeze and accompanied by traditional music. At the end, guests enjoy a free bar of rebujitos and a tapa, adding a refreshing and festive touch to the celebration.

For Whom This capea is ideal for groups of friends and bachelor/bachelorette parties seeking a traditional, light-physical activity with a festive atmosphere. No prior experience is required, and it’s suitable for those not afraid of animals. Not recommended for young children or individuals with limited mobility without prior consultation.

Local Context Collado Mediano maintains deep rural roots in the Sierra de Guadarrama, where capeas are part of local festivals and popular traditions. The community actively preserves this practice, blending taurine culture with open-air gatherings in natural settings.
