THE "SAN FERMINES"
The "San Fermines" is a
festival in honour of
Saint Fermin, which is
held annually in
Pamplona, in the
northern of Spain.

The festival begins with

the throw of a rocket
from the balcony of the
town hall at 12 noon on
July 6 and ends at 24
hours of July 14 with the
"Poor me", a song of
farewell.
One of the famous traditions of "San Fermines"
is the running of bulls, which is a race about 800
metres ahead of the bulls and culminating in the
bullring.
 
The running of bulls is every day between 7 and
14 and begins at eight o'clock, with an average
duration of two to three minutes.
 
The origin of the festival of "San Fermines" goes
back to the Middle Ages and is related to three
ceremonies in honour of Saint Fermin Religious
Initially, the festival of Saint Fermin of
Pamplona was held on October 10th, but in
1591 the people of Pamplona, fed up with the
bad weather at that time of year, decided to
move the festival to July so it would coincide
with the Fair. This is how the "San Fermines"
was born.
 
Originally it lasted two days and had an
opening of proclamation, musicians,
tournament, drama and bullfights.
 
Later, other events were added, such as
firework and dances, and the festival lasted
until July 10th.
