- Caveat on the figureVISITS, not people, and the body does not state the method. The components do not sum to the headline: Centro 277,580, Real 288,350, Auditorio about 79,500, the opening drone-and-fireworks show about 370,000 — the last of which, given the format, overlaps the others. The best-defined component is 288,350 people at the Real.
- Origin not publishedOrganisers do not publish nationality at the gate: in the Festival Codex archive the field is empty on all 251 full-schema records across three countries. Of 83 Spanish events, three publish a breakdown.
- Inbound flow to the community that month1,831,141 foreign trips — 11.4% of the community's annual flow. The community peaks in August. Estimate
- Origin mix of the community's flow in AugustUnited Kingdom 328,598, France 248,058, Netherlands 138,538, Portugal 117,667, Germany 113,808
- What this is NOTThis is the flow into the community, not the audience of the festival. Not one of the 83 Spanish festivals publishes a visitor passport. Basis: trips inferred from phone positioning — NOT a passport — TMOV_R, measurement from mobile-phone positioning.

How to read the marks
- 'estimate' means: the body itself presents the figure as an estimate and publishes no method.
The month is given for a typical year: Spanish fiesta dates often follow the church calendar and move. Verified 1 September 2026. Every figure on this page comes from the same register that feeds the tables — there is no second source of truth. What the register does not hold is absent here rather than estimated.
