Photos from Fiestas de San Fermín, Pamplona
Spain is known for celebrating its fiestas populares at a scale that
not many countries can compete with. Fiestas de San Fermin, that took
place from July 6th - July 13th 2005, is certainly one of the biggest
and wildest of them all. At eight
o´clock every morning during the festival six bulls are let
loose in the streets so that the most daring men and women
can test their courage running in front of the bulls on a 850 m long
distance to
the
bull arena. As the photos show Fiestas de San Fermín is
a lot more than bulls. It is indeed a strange
blend of religious ceremonies, drinking orgy and worship of the
bull-cult.
