The Burgos International University Tuna Festival is one of the established gatherings on the Iberian tuna calendar, with a programme that brings together invited tunas from Spain, Portugal and Latin America for a long weekend that mixes the inaugural parade, parade and singing contests, the night-time rondas at the tascas of the Casco Viejo, a brotherhood lunch and the closing gala. The action is spread across plazas in the historic centre, the Paraninfo and the University of Burgos campus, and the colegios mayores, giving the festival a university dimension alongside the cultural one.
For invited tunas, alumni tuna associations and cofradías, the operational brief has three fronts. First, looking after the identity detail of each tuna, which usually carries its own beca, capas and colours as a recognisable element during parades and rondas. Second, the exchanges between tunas at dinners and at the brotherhood lunch, where cintas, escudos and small pieces are handed to other tunas and become physical souvenirs of the gathering. Third, the formal presentations at the Paraninfo and in historic buildings, where the institutional image counts and merch must photograph well. The mix of parade, tascas and Paraninfo forces merch to plan as something that can survive street and noise for a full week.
Screen-printed beca or escudo over a black capa carrying each tuna's colours and coat of arms, paired with a silk or satin corbatín for the Paraninfo contests. Built to last several days of parades and night-time rondas without losing shape.
Fabric cintas with the festival name and year, engraved metal escudos with each tuna's coat of arms and small velvet pouches for handing them over at dinners and at the brotherhood lunch. Runs sized for the formal exchanges between tunas and alumni tunos.
A5 notebooks with a synthetic leather cover and thick card bookmarks, pen-and-roller sets in a fabric pouch and folders with the festival's programme. For formal presentations and for the alumni tunos who return as guests.
Heavy cotton tote bags with the festival mark, engraved steel bottles carrying the escudo and A6 notebooks with a debossed cover. For regional cultural press coverage and for the general public following the parades.
We produce from our Madrid hub with EUR pricing exclusive of IVA 21%, added on the B2B invoice and reported via FACe/SII to the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT); intra-EU buyers can apply the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable. Runs are sized to a long-weekend international festival: 20–50 pieces per reference for beca and capas, 50–150 for cintas and escudos, 30–80 for Paraninfo detail and 200–600 for audience and press gifts. Burgos is well connected by the A-1 and AP-1, so delivery is coordinated with a named consignee at a plaza in the Casco Viejo, a colegio mayor near the Cathedral or the Paraninfo of the University of Burgos, with a hotel buffer near the Paseo del Espolón to cover the gap between the inaugural parade and the closing gala.
A tuna-format specific consideration is that cintas and escudos work as social currency between the invited tunas, so each cinta must carry the receiving tuna's coat of arms and the correct year. We recommend producing cintas by tuna with batch-level quality control and leaving room for last-minute coat-of-arms corrections, and keeping the velvet pouches in a separate stock so each tuna hands its cintas at dinner or the brotherhood lunch without losses.
Historically the festival fills several days in May, around the spring university celebrations, with the inaugural parade, contests and rondas that run all the way to the closing gala. The exact dates of each edition are published in the University of Burgos's announcement and should be confirmed before runs are fixed.
Yes, provided it is coordinated with the festival organisation and arrives within the agreed set-up window. For the parades and night-time rondas we add a buffer at a colegio mayor or a hotel near the Cathedral from which small boxes are handed to the tunas.
For beca and capas we usually run twenty to thirty per tuna, enough for the members present; cintas and escudos for exchanges accept runs of fifty to one hundred per edition; and Paraninfo detail moves in batches of thirty to fifty units.
