SUMMER 2001 - PAMPLONA AND THE SAN FERMIN FESTIVAL |
|
The opening of the San Fermin Festival was a tough experience, 15.000
people crowded on a little Plaza and the sorrounding narrow streetsThe
Parade of the Giants and the bulls running through the streets of
Pamplona's Oldtown were two of the Festival Highlights. 10.000 people
were watching the bulls arriving at the Bullfight Plaza. Here they lost
their life later the same day.Our
eminent taxidriver told us there would be about 1.000.000 people
participating in the Festival during its seven days. Fontaine-diving and
fireworks was fun and of course eating and urinating (almost everywhere)
were necessities. After Pamplona; the Plane home. |
