Bull run in the year PamplonaEvery 7-July 14 Thousands pack into Pamplona, Spain as the most famous bull-farm festival in honor of the capital of Navarre, patron saint San Fermin. Spain stages more than 3,000 events (festivals) each year, but the 7-day bull-run is the favorite in the large and excitement. After the early morning of July 7, runners (mainly boys) in the lower part of the Santo Domingo, this is the beginning of the line.
They gather and sing to the image of San Fermin is situated in a hole in the wall. The song goes: “A San FermÃn pedimos, por ser nuestro patron, nos guÃe en el encierro dándonos su Bendición” ( “We ask San FermÃn, as our Patron, to us through the Bull Run and a blessing for us.”) Then, as the rocket goes off, a number of bulls to fight, to the exit. Both rocket and blast furnaces to ensure that everyone knows the bulls loose in the streets. Bulls, located along the narrow road 825 meters (half mile) to the arena. Runners with a hyphen for the bulls, the views of the breath of the bull after him, as close as possible – at all sure that gored by their sharp horns.
That must be a way to do this is to start slowly as the bulls is very far behind. Then they begin to run as close to hell! You can then close them for a short time because they close to you willing to risk, and immediately from the streets. Runners find hole in the fence by sliding or jumping on or against the wall, in the streets. When the police finally at the end of the road, he went to the cage and held until later in the day that she died in a bullfight.
The tradition is said to be practical when it in 1591 only residents have the police at the bull fighting arena. Initially only used to lead the Bulls rode. But it seems for some time, the butchers guild, who is responsible for the bulls to buy, took part in the hunt started and rode on the backs of the bulls, heifers and bull-ring in Santo Domingo – the starting running. Over time the case was always very popular and some people began running for the bulls and rode behind them, because to do so. In 1852, a new bull ring was built and new routes – to be shorter also, because in 1899, he decided to bulls in the house to the little Santo Domingo street the night before their fight in the ring.
Initially only a few daring souls ran with the bulls but the adrenaline that 1500 pounds was caught in the bull. People travel all over the world to deal with the Bulls. Other cities in Spain a bull running festivals if you do not make San Fermin or not, as groups. Aravaca-Pozuelo, a suburb of Madrid, for example, has a bull with a festival in the late summer.
