SPAIN: San Fermin Festival, Running of the Bulls, July 2012
According to historians the San Fermín festival was not born spontaneously but arose out of the conjunction of three separate fiestas: those of a religious nature in honor of San Fermín and which have taken place since time immemorial, the commercial fiestas organized since the XIVth century and the taurine festivals which were centred around the bullfights, also since the XIVth century.
The Running of the Bulls (aka Encierro de Toros)
The bull run, or encierro, is the most well known act of the San Fermín Festival and the reason why so many visitors make their way to Pamplona every July. Each morning runners race down the narrow half a mile stretch that goes from the Santo Domingo corrals to the bull ring where later that afternoon they are killed as part of the daily bullfight. A total of six bulls are “run” as well as six tame steer.
