The centre of Onda is closed to traffic and parking from Friday 16 October at 18:00 until Sunday 25 at 24:00. It affects the bull-run area and the streets around it, and it is the first thing to know if you are coming by car. This page follows the PDF Traffic measures for the Fira 2026, published on fira.onda.es on 15 October.
The text on the official website still says “Friday 17” and “Sunday 26”, which are the 2025 days. The 2026 PDF gives Friday 16 and Sunday 25, which matches this year's calendar, and that is the one we follow here.

Loading and unloading in the centre
Shops and residents in the closed zone can load and unload at four points: Puerta del Sol, the Town Hall, Pasaje Algueró and the Raval de San José. There are two time slots:
| Days | Hours |
|---|---|
| Friday 16, Monday 19, Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 | 6:00 to 10:00 |
| Thursday 22, Friday 23 and Saturday 24 | 6:00 to 9:00 |
You enter through Salvador Barri and leave through La Safona and Concepción. The poster gives no loading and unloading hours for Sunday 25.
Where to leave the car
The official plan does not recommend car parks, so this comes from our guide to parking in Onda. The sensible thing is to leave the car outside the closed zone and walk in:
- La Cossa car park: free, with more than 200 spaces, next to the municipal football ground.
- Visita Onda stop (Paraíso area): at Calle Ceramista Alós, 4. It is an overflow space meant for busy days.
Better not count on the car park of the Víctor Cabedo pavilion: this year it hosts the Tuesday 20 market and the Tasca del Tord. Plaza de España is not among the closed streets named on the poster, and Parking Onda (under the market, 412 spaces) is open 24 hours according to its website. What we do not know is how you get in during the closure: the poster does not say.
Streets that must stay clear
During the street music performances, Cervantes, Doctor Fleming, Canónigo Villar, Salvador Barri, San Blas and Ronda have to stay clear for emergency vehicles. If you arrive on foot or park nearby, do not leave anything in them.
What we still do not know
- How to reach Parking Onda (Plaza de España) during the closure. Its phone number is 611 98 01 67.
- The loading and unloading hours for Sunday 25.
- Whether there will be more one-off closures: the poster says full information is on fira.onda.es, and that site still mixes in 2025 dates.
For specific questions, the safest thing is to call the Onda Local Police (964 77 21 16).

Where this information comes from
The closures, hours and zones come from the PDF Traffic measures for the Fira 2026, published on fira.onda.es on 15 October 2026. What is not stated we say as it is, because we would rather leave it blank than invent it. The car parks come from our own guide. GuiaOnda is independent: it is not the official website of the Fira or of the Local Police.
