Plaza del Castillo, Pamplona. San Fermin festival, site of 'el encierro', The Running of the Bulls
The running of the bulls in Pamplona, in the Navarre region of Spain is one of the most famous, exciting and controversial festivals in the world.
The Pamplona encierro is the most popular running of the bulls in Spain and is broadcast live by two national television channels. It is the highest profile event of the San Fermin festival, which is held every year from July 7–14. The first bull running is on July 7, followed by one on each of the following mornings of the festival, beginning every day at 8am.
Being over eighteen and entering the itinerary before 7:30 are the main requirements to participate. Other prohibitions are to run under the influence of alcohol, run in the opposite direction of the running or inciting the bulls.
