Today at noon local time kicked off Spain's biggest and best-known annual party, the San Fermines Festival in Pamplona, more commonly known as The Running of The Bulls. While the bull running will start tomorrow morning at 7:00 local time, the Chupinazo is the official start of the festivities. The festival's origens go back centuries but it was in the 20th century that Hemingway made it famous with The Sun Also Rises.
The festival attracts a huge amount of foreign visitors every year, so if you want to make plans to visit, it's best to start as much as a year in advance, or risk not finding any accommodation at all. The best places are the balconies along the route of the encierro, and this year The Spanish Touch wishes the best for Karen and Robert who are going to be watching the first running tomorrow morning from the balcony of their apartment.
You can watch the encierros here.
