Festivity of International Tourist Interest
Thousands of people go to Pamplona every year to experience the risk and the thrill of the running of the bulls, a tradition immortalised by Ernest Hemingway in his novel Fiesta. Over nine days, dressed in traditional white costumes with a red kerchief, locals and visitors give themselves over to the festive spirit. The band La Pamplonesa fills the streets with music, the Comparsa de Gigantes y Cabezudos (a traditional parade featuring large, oversized figures and people with giant heads) marches alongside bagpipers and txistularis, and the local clubs bring a mischievous spirit to the celebration.
