San Fermín in Pamplona
Pamplona's July festival is known for the running of the bulls, but its public celebrations also include music, parades and ceremonies. The event reshapes the city for more than a single morning.
Why go
See San Fermín as a citywide festival rather than only an encierro. The opening chupinazo, the giants and big-heads parade, and the closing Pobre de Mí reveal a broader civic tradition. Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises helps explain why the festival became so familiar to international visitors.
Useful to know
Check Pamplona's official festival programme for current event times and locations.
Decide in advance whether the crowded bull run is part of your visit or whether to focus on the parades and public celebrations.
