The festivities of San Agustín in Fernán Caballero (Ciudad Real) are held at the end of August, with the main day on the 30th, when the fernanduco-style bull runs take place: two fighting bulls, usually from local herds, run a V-shaped route through the streets, so that runners cross paths face to face with one bull while fleeing the other, in a festival lasting up to two hours. The bull run dates back to 1850, one of the oldest in the province along with that of Almodóvar del Campo; it was first advertised in the Pamplona style and took on its current name in 1989. In 2012 it was declared Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional de Castilla-La Mancha (a festival declared of regional tourist interest in Castilla-La Mancha).
