    Taking the Bus in Pamplona
    by Roadquill
    The City has buses that run all night long from all areas of Pamplona to the City Center where the main festivities are happening. It runs about one euro per bus ride. The bus also goes back and forth to the airport and it is still only 1 euro.

    Taxi from the airport
    by Roadquill
    If arriving by train, there are just a few taxi's that run from the train station to the city center. So when a full train arrives and lets off a load of festival go'ers it can take a while to get through the line. If you are in a rush, get out to the front of the station and be one of the first in lines. Aout 5 euros.

    If by air, it was easy to get a taxi from the airport to city center. about 15 euro.

    Toros à Pampelune/Irunea

    Les "encieros" de San Fermin c'est-à-dire les la course de taureaux à travers les rues de Pampelune/Irunea constituent un témoin extraordinaire des traditions séculaires toujours vivaces de l'Espagne. C'est toujours avec plaisir et émotion que je les suis chaque matin à 08.00h. sur la TV espagnole internationale entre le 6 et 14 juillet. Bien sur il y a des blessés, le plus souvent parmi les touristes étrangers, mais cela fait partie du jeu et il est moins dangereux, pour soi-même et pour les autres, de courir devant les taureaux que de rouler à contre sens sur l'autoroute.
    Par contre ce qui est franchement médiocre ce sont les corridas de l'après midi qui suivent les encieros. Le public est celui d'un match de football, rien à voir avec les aficionados de Las Ventas ou de la Maestranza. Ce dimanche soir la TVE nous a transmis une corrida dans laquelle le second matador (je ne citerai pas son nom) a mis une douzaine de minutes et treize coups de diverses épées pour mettre à mort son taureau. Il est vrai qu'il s'agissait de toros de Miura, connus pour étant particulièrement dangereux, impressionnants de hauteur, de longueur et de poids.
    J'apprécie la tauromachie en tant qu'expression de la culture et tradition espagnole mais je déteste les médiocres toreros.

    The "encieros" of San Fermin i.e. the bulls running through the streets of Pampelune/Irunea constitutes an extraordinary witness of the long-lived traditions of Spain. It is always with interest and emotion that I look at them every morning at 08.00 am on the international Spanish TV between July 6th and 14th.

    For sure there are injured persons, mostly among the foreign (sometimes drunken) tourists, but it is a part of the game and it is less dangerous, for oneself and for the others, to run in front of the bulls than to drive against sense on the highway.

    But the bullfights in the after noon following the "encieros" are often mediocre. The public is that of a football match, nothing to do with the aficionados at the corridas of Las Ventas arenas in Madrid or the Maestranza in Sevilla.

    I accept bullfighting as expression of the Spanish culture and tradition but I hate bad toreros.

    At the end of the running, the bulls enter this ring. They are then herded into pens through an ajoining entranceway. The Bull Ring is a spectacular sight during the run as it is completely packed. Completing the run and entering the Bull Ring to the cheers of the crowd, provides for an undescribable feeling.
    Bull fights are held here nightly during the festival.

    Bulls to the rear

    Bulls at sunrise before
    the run
    by DSwede
    These guys are cute aren't they. Why do people say that they are dangerous? That's what I went to go find out over the weekend. Not much to say other than lots of people, lots of alcohol, no sleep, and a few new fuzzy friends of 2000+ pounds.

    The running in Pamplona was quite a rush, it starts at 8am, every year July 7-14, regardless of the day. If you are going to run, you have to get in the route at least an hour early. The police hold you back while they clean the street ahead, and about 30 minutes before, they release the crowd to venture as far up or down the route as they want. The entire thing is about 1/2 of a mile (800m). If you hold still long enough, the crowd will run by and then you can run along the bulls, what a rush. If you enter the arena before the last one, you can run around the field as they release smaller bulls one at a time. Each bull goes for about 10 minutes before it is tired and ushered off. The bulls themselves maybe a bit dangerous, but the crowd is the worst. They are drunk, slow, and stupid, creating more of a threat than the bulls themselves. Otherwise it is a party 24 hours a day for 7 days.

    If you do the run:
    1) Dont let the police see you with anything with a long strap, i.e. camera bag or backpack (they will detain you for safety reasons... I was pulled out and missed the run in a holding pen, only to try again the next morning)

    2) Stay on the inside of the turns... The cobblestone streets will be freshly cleaned and slippery. If a bull is to slip or take a turn wide, which will be due to hoves on slippery cobblestone.

    This is a beautifully gothic building, and a great setting for the start of the bull run. The bull run starts from the preceding square at 8am each morning during the festival. The square is closed off to runners at 7.30, so I suggest getting there at 7am to take up a decent postion in the crowd.

    The stuff exhibited shows Navarra's heritage from prehistory to present times.

    I recommend specially the romanesque works, there are some exquisite chapitels from different masters. An absolute must if u love medieval art!

    Maybe is the most important part in the cathedral. Also in gothic style, it's said that it's a masterpiece of this style in all Europe.

    Anyways, look at light going through the archs, it's really a great place. But well, I'm not impartial, I love all cloisters =)

    During the San Fermin Festival (July 7 thru the 14) there is a parade of the giants, each representing royalty from some exotic place. They do a little dance at the bus station as well as walk around the festival. The place was packed with kids and adults, all enjoying the festivities.
