Context
- Radius of effect50–100 km: the event moves occupancy and rate
- Circulating figure rejectedA figure of 350,000 circulates for 2024 and is not given here as attendance. Why: More than 350,000 attendees across two and a half months is attributed to no body. The only named source in the same piece is a PwC study, and that study is about economic impact (€315m of GDP, more than 1,000 jobs), not attendance. "More than" makes it a lower bound, and it is not stated who is inside: concert ticket holders, or everyone entering the Village and restaurant areas.
- Origin not publishedOrganisers do not publish nationality at the gate: in the Festival Codex archive the field is empty on all 251 full-schema records across three countries.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 month1,622,477 foreign trips — 10.1% 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.
