Pamplona Bull Run
 

Today was the first of Pamplona bull runs in Pamplona.

If you want to watch them, they are on live on TVE 1 each morning at 8am until July 14.

If you're not in Spain or haven't got a Spanish telly, you can watch them on TVE International, channel 802 on Sky.

Here's a brief history http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/spani...san-fermin.htm

That's one of the things I love about Spain. They are so un PC!! No 'Nanny State' in Pamplona.

A lot of the runners are now tourists and of the four injured in this morning's run, two are Australian.

The last person to be killed was an American in 1995.

What a nice thing to say:blink:

Re: Pamplona Bull Run
 

Oh, it did sound a bit negative didnt it?

I am sure you will have great fun - that's the whole point of it - a bit of a risk and an adrenalin rush.

well trying to look up where Rioja is - think Ive gone a bit mad :blink: the only place called Rioja is down by Almeria and they arent there - they are 6 hours away and when I spoke to them yesterday they were near Zaragoza so I think they are probably very near Pamplona ( doh, where they make Rioja - its late :o )

Re: Pamplona Bull Run
 

must be mad though - god I hope my OH and son are safely behind the barriers, Im starting to worry now
