The Festival of San Isidro -15th of May

San Isidro



The festivities in honour of San Isidro offer a unique chance to see Madrid at its most typical. They are held in May, and are a time when the chulapos and goyescos (inhabitants of the city dressed in the traditional costume of Madrid) take to the streets to enjoy themselves with music, dancing the typical regional dance known as the chotis and eating typical dishes in honour of the Saint. This is also the occasion of the prestigious San Isidro bullfighting festival.
