A peculiar circular brick-and-arcade structure on the western edge of Albacete, the Recinto Ferial is the permanent home of the Feria de Albacete, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest and one of the largest in Spain. The fair runs from 7–17 September each year — ten days of bullfights, processions, livestock shows, flamenco and tourist crowds, with concerts and fireworks every night.
Out of season the fairground is open as a public space and worth a half-hour walk-through: it is the only building of its kind in Europe. Bring a camera for the arcades; bring patience for the parking if you come during the fair.
