The Running of the Bulls

Is held in the Spanish town of Pamplona during the festival of San Fermin, the region’s patron saint. The celebration is dedicated to Saint Fermin who was killed by bulls that dragged him through through the streets.

In 1591 the local religious festival was held together with Pamplona’s traditional summer market fair and the San Fermin festival was born. Since then the festival has grown into the week long extravaganza it is today, attracting well over a million people each year!
