The Running of the Bulls is Back
The header of this months issue of Travelwise features the famed San Fermín Festival. Paused since the pandemic, the heart-pounding Running of the Bulls is back. Pamplona, Spain, is expected to welcome over a million revelers from across the globe as they participate and watch the festivities from July 6 to July 14. Runners dressed in white and red run for their very lives in one of the biggest attractions of the festival.
Thousands of people every year attend the week-long festival for the famous "encierros", where bulls are released every day to run from their corral to the bullring through the narrow streets of the old town while runners try to run ahead of them without falling over or being gored.
Ernest Hemingway signposted the road to Pamplona for many foreign visitors when he published his novel The Sun Also Rises.
