Why San Fermin Festival matters
For nine days in July, the city of Pamplona hosts San Fermin, a festival of parades, music, white clothing with red scarves and the famous running of the bulls. Each morning, runners dash through the narrow streets ahead of the bulls. It's risky, and many people prefer to watch from a safe place. The atmosphere is wild.
Talking points
- The festival is held in July.
