Distinguished Berkeley Alum Recounts Running With the Bulls

Joe Garret, a legendary banker and respected alum of UC Berkeley shared his story in the Winter edition of the alumni magazine. Garret was reluctant to revisit Hemingway's work, but gave in to the impulse to read him again. This set in-motion a series of events that saw him running in the streets of Pamplona next to six toro bravos. Joe went all the way with his Pamplona experience, staying at the very same hotel where Hemingway lived, the Gran Hotel La Perla, and capping off his bull run with a drink at Cafe Iruña, where Hemingway spent many an hour drinking. Having cheated death on the streets of Pamplona, and living to tell the story, Garret invoked Churchill's words ,…

All About the Pamplona Apartado

The Apartado happens each afternoon during Feria del Toro, or festival of the bull, which is a central part of the larger San Fermin Festival. We already know the bull ranch (and therefore “breed”) because there is only one ranch supplying bulls for each day. That schedule is published in late Spring, you can see a sample from our June, 2017 post about the 2017 Pamplona Matador Lineup. Once the bulls run through town in the morning bull run, they are kept at the corrals in the Plaza de Toros. In the afternoon, the officials of Casa Misericordia - the charitable organization responsible for putting on the bullfights - gather with the matadors, bull owners, pastores (herders), local politicians and…

Do you know how to say ‘Running of the Bulls’ in Mexico?

The legend of the Running of the Bulls has spread all over the world, and has worked its way into local cultures using different images, feelings and words. Even though we have plenty of words in Castilian Spanish to describe the events that occur in Pamplona - Sanfermines, Las Fiestas de San Fermin, El Encierro - our friends in Mexico have coined a term all their own:  "La Pamplonada" Mexico has a deep connection to the traditions of Spain, and enjoying fiestas is something that is close to the heart of both cultures. So, to be sure we're delivering on our mission to make it as easy as possible to attend the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, we've launched…
