The most anticipated summer circus festival is back! Cirqueando 2026 is ready to fill the rural mountain villages of Madrid with culture, comedy, and gravity-defying stunts, touring across 14 charming municipalities in the Sierra de Guadarrama.

What’s on the Horizon This Year:
- 28 Contemporary Circus Shows: Breathtaking performances by top-tier national companies featuring visual poetry, physical comedy, and daring acrobatics.
