Pamplona Running of The Bulls – An Iconic Tradition
The Running of the Bulls is a centuries-old tradition, with records dating back to 1591, when the San Fermin Festival was moved from October to July. The bull runs start at 8 o-clock each morning during the fiestas of San Fermin, as six fighting bulls dash through the cobblestone streets, along an 875-meter course. The bull runners, known locally as “mozos,” wear the traditional white uniform accented with a red scarf and belt.
While they last only a few minutes, the daily bull runs during the festival are without question one of the most popular events for tourists visiting Spain in the summer.
Many organizations and institutions contribute to the success of the Running of the Bulls each year, including the City Hall of Pamplona, Regional Government of Navarra, Casa de Misericordia, Navarra Emergency Agency, Red Cross, DYA, Navarra Health Service, Federation of Peñas, Municipal Police, the Pastores, Ganaderos, Corredores, Dobladores, and the Carpinteros.
