Running with the bulls

Running with the bulls in Pamplona

Running with the bulls - When & Where The Running with the bulls Fiesta San Fermin begins 6th July until 14th July, every year in Pamplona, Spain.

The Bull Run is 800 metres long, divided in 2 legs. The first from the bull pen to Calle Estafeta (iron borders swing across the street separating the 2 legs) and the second from Calle Estafeta to the Bull Ring.

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.

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.
