The Calvià Town Council has approved the necessary permits and budget allocation to organize a San Fermín festival in July 2026 featuring a bull run with cows from the Galatzó public estate, located in the Capdellà district. The project will be officially presented next January at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) in Madrid. According to a statement released by the Town Council, which was ironically sent on April Fool's Day (a Spanish holiday), the initiative aims to revive a tradition that, according to municipal records, dates back to 1866 and is linked to the town's bullfighting past and the figure of the bullfighter known as Capellanet. The animals that would participate in the bull run are one bull and seven Mallorcan cows, which were released onto the Galatzó estate in early December to contribute to natural vegetation clearing and the prevention of forest fires. According to the City Council, the cattle have adapted quickly to the environment and possess a "suitable" temperament to play a leading role in the festival. The mayor of Calvià, Juan Antonio Amengual, expressed his satisfaction with the project, which he described as an initiative that combines "festival, tradition, and memory" and allows, he said, the municipality to showcase a little-known past. Amengual also highlighted the festival's potential as a tourist attraction, as it would complement the municipality's established offerings. For his part, the Deputy Mayor for the Environment and driving force behind the proposal, Juan Thomàs, assured that the City Council will take all necessary measures to ensure the running of the bulls takes place "in a way that is respectful to the animals" and without causing them, he stated, "any negative emotional impact." Thomàs even went so far as to describe the activity as a "zero stress animal" bull run.
