The traditional activities that form the backbone of the event revolve around the world of hunting, sport fishing, and technical skills related to the natural environment of Almazán. This established journey highlights the importance of the town as a benchmark for enthusiasts of hunting practices in the province and the autonomous community as a whole.

Traditional festival food

Visitor guide and where to stay
To organise your stay during the Feria Venatoria en Almazán, it is advisable to book accommodation well in advance, either in the municipality itself or in nearby towns that facilitate following the night-time events. During the days with the highest influx of public to the venue, official guidelines advise prioritising the use of public transport or parking private vehicles in designated areas outside the town centre. Likewise, it is recommended to stay informed through the town council's official channels regarding any logistical or accessibility changes that may occur in the town's streets.
