- Caveat on the figureThe 72nd edition. We take THEATRE SPECTATORS rather than the headline 181,088, which covers every activity of the programme. But there is a gap inside what we take: the body’s own components (Roman Theatre 100,164, touring 19,567, Augustito 6,042, cinema 506, family 1,235, training 1,876) give about 129,400, not 135,808, and the body does not explain the gap. The best-defined part is 100,164 at the Roman Theatre. The box office is declared provisional.
- Origin not publishedOrganisers do not publish nationality at the gate: in the Festival Codex archive the field is empty on all 251 full-schema records across three countries.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 month122,052 foreign trips — 10.0% of the community's annual flow. The community peaks in August. Estimate
- Country mix of the flowThe country mix is published for August only, and for a festival in July it says nothing: putting it here would pass one month off as another.
- 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.
