In the streets of Pamplona.

From the 7th to the 14th of July, the bulls will be sent to the Plaza de Toros, the arena, on the cobbled streets, at 8:00 am in the old town of Pamplona, 825m. The bulls will be released from your account. And they run faster than all 3,000 people who seek their daily adrenaline rush. Some people think it's a good idea to just stand in the street, watch and enjoy the excitement - "If I do not run, I'm safe." That does not really work. There are just too many people in the street and the bulls are even more unpredictable than usual. Then the crowd itself: Most injuries are caused by stagnation and by other people. The only safe way is to watch the spectacle on the TV or from a balcony.

Well this is great Herbert...really fantastic. I live in Spain and this really shows the event in all it's glory. However I must say...poor Bulls!!!

I thing you´re rigth. I wanted to see it once. That was enough for me. The whole city smells of urine. It is not pleasant. Thank you very much, for your friendly comment. Greeting Herbert
