For one week every year, the Spanish town of
Pamplona parties so hard that the foothills of
the nearby Pyrenees start to shake. Nothing
can prepare you for your first Pamplona
experience: the constant flow of beer and
sangria, the outrageous drunken partying, the
hordes of excited people in the streets, and,
most of all, the early morning terror of the
encierro, the daily bull run. You’ve got to hand
it to the Spanish; they certainly know how to
host a phenomenal party, and the Fiesta de
San Fermin is simply the scariest, loudest and
most raucous one you’ll ever come across. It’s
the Bruce Lee of world festivals: it hits you hard
and fast and leaves you feeling like you’ve been
run over by a bus – or, more accurately in the
case of the slower runners, a bull.
