San Fermines fiesta officially starts in Pamplona
The famous bull run festival is on for nine days until 14th July
At 12 noon this Monday, the San Fermín bull run festival kicked off in Pamplona for another year with a crowd of thousands waiting in the Town Hall square, red neckerchiefs at the ready, for the ‘chupinazo’ rocket to be set off from the City Hall balcony to herald the official start of the festivities. The honour of lighting this year’s fuse went to the Socialist councillor, Maite Esporrín, signalling nine days of non-stop celebrations.
