Pamplona

Had so much fun in this beautiful city during the 2023 San Fermín festival (Festival of the Bulls). Wasn’t quite brave enough to run myself, but watched in awe of everyone participating! The atmosphere is electric and intoxicating, you cannot help but fall in love with this city and it’s traditions.

At five o'clock in the morning, they took up their place, and found that they were not sleeping at all, and the whole street was full of people. I didn't know that the cows saw such a scene, and they dared not chase it. The route to the bull run is 849 meters in lightning shape, a route that has not changed for many years, from pastures outside the city to bullrings in the city. Safety is at the top of the list at the bull run festival. So there are also many rules, such as drunkenness can not participate in the cattle running, can not wear slippers, can not bring mobile phones and cameras and the like, can not bring children into the route. If the police see you violate the rules, they will take you away. For a precaution, there is a professional team of doctors who have been preparing. Also, it is important to respect animals at the Bunnings Festival. If the cattle herder sees you beating the cow, pulling the tail, or pulling his horn, they will be unkind to you. So bull running is completely different from bull fighting, bull running is very popular, but most people in Spain don't like bullfighting because everyone thinks bullfighting is very cruel and bloody.

The central Spanish city of Pamplona, known as the bullfighting city, is the most famous festival ～ bullfighting festival, held every July.
