Saca de las Yeguas, held every June in Almonte, is a centuries-old tradition where wild mares and foals are herded from Doñana National Park into the town by local horsemen known as yegüerizos. The animals are paraded through the streets for health checks, branding, and sale, offering a rare chance to witness authentic pastoral culture and horsemanship up close. The sight of these majestic animals, accompanied by traditional music, creates an electrifying atmosphere that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The event, which is deeply rooted in Andalusia’s history, celebrates the region’s close connection to nature and its equestrian traditions. Arrive early for the morning entrance into town, as it’s the highlight of the day. Whether you’re here for the horses, the lively spirit, or to immerse yourself in Andalusian culture, Saca de las Yeguas is an unforgettable experience that brings you right into the heart of southern Spain.
