Waiting for the bulls

Pamplona in the early morning (about 8.00 clock). The crowd waits for the bulls. The chase through the streets of the city can begin.

At the San Fermin festival in Pamplona every morning fighting bulls are driven through the Crowd of people to the arena. It is locals and tourists who run with the bulls. Some are armed with rolled-up newspapers. After a little more than three minutes everything is over and the wounded are counted. How the day will end for the bulls is already clear.

Among the bloody and dangerous tourist attractions the festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, northern Spain is one of the most famous: From 6 to 14 July is celebrated much here, and drunk even more - and in the morning shall running with the bulls. Then have the bulls that are killed by matadors in the evening, racing across the slippery pavement to the arena.
