San Fermin

The Festival of San Fermín is a week-long celebration held annually in Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, in honor of Saint Fermin. The celebration, known locally as Sanfermines in Spanish and Sanferminak in Basque, starts on July 6 and lasts until July 14. The main event is the running of the bulls, which takes place every day from July 7 to July 14, starting at 8 am. The festival has its origins in the combination of medieval commercial fairs and religious ceremonies held to honor Saint Fermin. Over time, the event has evolved to include various traditional and folkloric activities, including bullfights, dances, and the Parade of Giants. The festival gained international fame due to Ernest Hemingway's book The Sun Also Rises and has been broadcast live on Spanish television since the 1960s.learn more on wikipedia
