Running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain

While bullfights are a staple of Spanish culture, no fiesta exemplifies this tradition better than the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. This nine day celebration occurs from July 6th to 14th every year and has existed in some shape or form since medieval times to honor patron Saint, San Fermin.
