LARP in Spain is usually called rol en vivo. It is a younger scene than the big festival circuits of Germany or the UK, but it is more varied than most people expect: one-day battles in a Madrid park, Victorian horror in a Catalan village, masquerade dramas, castle games for international players and an officially licensed school-of-magic campaign in the Pyrenees. This guide covers who runs LARP in Spain, which events have dates for late 2026 and 2027 on the organizers' own sites, and how to prepare.

LARP in Spain: What to Expect
Search for "LARP Spain" in English and you will find little. Search for "rol en vivo" and the scene opens up. The two terms mean the same thing. Asociación Æquilibrium, for example, describes itself as a Spanish association of rol en vivo (LARP) and organizes events, workshops and medieval days.
Most of the events we could verify are not giant tent cities. They are story-driven games with pre-written or assigned characters, a defined setting and a clear start and end, often in a rural house, hostel or castle. Expect a mix of the following:
- dark medieval fantasy with soft combat and large battles;
- parlour games where the action is conversation, with no combat;
- historical, supernatural and horror dramas for a small cast;
- international runs in castles and manor houses, with English-friendly rules;
- workshops and introductory days for new players.
Language matters. Most Spanish organizers publish their pages in Spanish and do not always state the language of play, so ask before you book. Some productions are written for international players and run in English.
Main LARP Organizers in Spain
Asociación Æquilibrium
Asociación Æquilibrium is a leisure, sport and culture association that runs events around Omnia, its own dark medieval fantasy world. Its sagas are Omnia, Tierras de Sangre and Promesas y Poder, and its combat is described as interpretive soft combat. It also offers workshops on LARP, soft combat and fencing, a good way to try the hobby before committing to a full event. The website is in Spanish.
ReVolution Larp
ReVolution Larp designs and runs complete experiences with pre-written characters, mostly in historical, supernatural and drama settings. Its "Próximos eventos" block currently lists Monstruo in November 2026, Mascarada: Diabulus in Musica in April 2027 and La Llama: Cenizas de España in May 2027, plus an English-language international run of The Flame in September 2027.
NotOnlyLarp
NotOnlyLarp runs international games, including L'Inconscience, described on its own site as a Mediterranean LARP, in a castle in Andalusia. It also lists a second 2027 title, Glitz.
Efimeral
Efimeral is a Spanish creative studio. Its page states that the setting of The Witcher belongs to CD Projekt Red and was licensed for the organization of its official event, and CD PROJEKT RED's press center confirms the partnership. Its campaign, Aretuza, is a school-of-magic LARP in a castle hotel in La Seu d'Urgell, in the Catalan Pyrenees.
Other Groups Worth Knowing
Azarkia Eventos is a cultural association based in Elche. Its own-setting LARP, Azarkia: Cristal Oscuro, is described as premedieval dark fantasy, and it also lists Leyendas de las Mil Tormentas III in Alarcón, Cuenca. No dates are published on those pages, so we do not list them below. Ragnaröl Eventos runs themed camps with live roleplay in Asturias, also without confirmed dates.
The scene is also getting institutional attention. In October 2025 the Zaragoza City Council, with the Regnum Aragón association, held Zlarp at La Azucarera, presented as the first LARP convention in Spain. It was free, aimed at ages 14 to 30, and offered games, workshops and demonstrations.

Earlier Games and What Comes Next
Æquilibrium held Tierras de Sangre IV, a one-day battle in Madrid, on September 19, 2026 (tickets 10, 15 and 20 EUR), and Huérfanos de Guerra, a no-combat parlour game in Fuentelencina, Guadalajara, on November 6 to 8, 2026 (135 or 150 EUR, registration closed). Its next dates are not announced yet. Efimeral's Aretuza ran in early 2026 at Castell de Ciutat in La Seu d'Urgell, with a standard ticket of 690 EUR. Its page lists the first saga as running in 2026 and 2027 without specific dates, and later sagas as to be determined, so there is no dated Aretuza episode to list yet.
International LARP in Spain
Spain's castles and rural houses make it an attractive venue for international organizers. L'Inconscience is held in the Castillo de Santiago in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Efimeral's Aretuza uses Castell de Ciutat, a four-star hotel in a fortress next to La Seu d'Urgell, about two hours and twenty minutes from Barcelona, and its sign-up form lets players choose Spanish, English or both. ReVolution's The Flame is played in English in a rural house near Sallent. If you do not speak Spanish, these are your best entry points. Always check each page for the language of play.

How to Plan Your LARP Trip to Spain
- follow organizers on their websites and social media, because dates are often announced late;
- ask about the language of play before you register;
- check the venue and transport, as many sites are rural and far from big cities;
- read each event's rules and costume requirements, and bring only gear that passes its safety check.
We do not sell weapons, and every event has its own weapon safety checks, so confirm what is allowed with the organizer before you travel.
Tips for First-Time LARP Players in Spain
Start small if you can. A one-day battle or a workshop is a cheaper first step than a multi-day game. If you speak some Spanish, a parlour game is a great way to practice character play, because the action is conversation. If you do not, choose an international production.
Read the setting material the organizer publishes and prepare a short backstory. Message the organizers with questions about rules and safety, as game masters are happy to help newcomers. Then build your look around your character.
Costume requirements differ by event. Some games ask for period costumes, others focus on story and characters, so read the organizer's guide first and ask if something is unclear. Pack for a rural venue, bring a copy of your character sheet and arrive ready to stay in character. Booking early helps, because several of the games above have a fixed number of places, from 18 players to 110.
