San Fermin

The San Fermin festival is a week-long, historically entrenched event celebrated every year in Pamplona, Navarre, in northern Spain. The festivities begin at 12 p.m on July 6 and go until midnight on July 14. The festivities begin with a firework display, and the popular song Pobre de m is sung at the conclusion. The most famous event is the running of the bulls, which takes place from July 7 to 14 at 8 a.m., although the festival also includes a variety of other traditional and folkloric activities. San Fermin is the local name for the festival, which is held in honor of Saint Fermin, Navarre's co-patron.

The annual San Fermin, perhaps one of the most famous festivals in Spain, is a perilous spectacle in which adrenaline-fueled locals of Pamplona seek to outrun raging bulls through the city's streets. This festival is extremely risky, and there have been numerous occasions where people have been seriously injured while participating in the race. This spectacular begins at 8 a.m. each day during the festival week and continues throughout the day. It is important to stress that we do not support bullfighting or animal cruelty.
