The Main Festival of Sant Abdó i Sant Senén in El Morell hosts once again the traditional bull-taming event, one of the most anticipated and participatory activities, drawing hundreds of attendees across several sessions during the weekend.

This bullfighting activity, held within an enclosure where participants provoke the young bulls, is one of the traditional spectacles still celebrated in the municipality, making it one of the few places in Camp de Tarragona to maintain these events after the abolition of bullfighting.
A total of four rounds are held throughout the weekend. The program continues tomorrow, Sunday, August 2nd, with early morning activities, two more bull-taming sessions, a mass, vermouth, a cycling race, a ceremonial procession, and a humor show.
The Main Festival will conclude on Monday, August 3rd, with a morning water festival, the show 'Històries d’aigua', the Ball de Sant Miquel, and the traditional correfoc (fire run).
