The Festival of San Fermín, famously known for the Running of the Bulls, is an iconic event held annually in Pamplona, Spain. Taking place from July 6th to 14th, this nine-day festival honors San Fermín, the patron saint of the city. The highlight of the festival is the daily encierro, or bull run, where brave participants dash through the narrow streets of Pamplona, pursued by a group of bulls. The festival also features traditional parades, folk music and dance, bullfights, and religious ceremonies, creating a vibrant atmosphere of revelry and cultural celebration.
