San Fermin Festival

Bulls can get dizzy & opt instead to charge spectators. Bulls are trained to complete the course with no runners. In a confused state they can charge.
San Fermin Festival

If you fall whilst running in front of the bulls, the recommended defense is to stay down on the ground with your hands on your head. Some friends of mine organize a walk through tour of the run so you are familiar with it, from bull pen to bull ring bull, tours for the bull running novice.
Gay-Pamplona The Gay scene There is a good gay scene in Pamplona at the San Fermin festival, in the old part of town try El Mesón (in Navarreria) or the Nicolette (in Tejeria). Also San Juan (ten minutes walk from the old part) there are three bars. El Alakarga, for example, where there is a good atmosphere for couples of all types, men or women. In the M-40 bar the atmosphere is exclusively male. The Mineo is the newest bar and a lot of people like it.
