Chupinazo is the opening ceremony of the Festival San Fermin. every 6th of July at noon thousands of people meet in the city hall of Pamplona. Just one minute before the fireworks, something very special happens. everybody keeps up his/her red scarf* and loudly pronounces VIVA SAN FERMIN/GORA SAN FERMIN. The city hall fills with powerful energy!
The bull run is one of the most exciting events that happen during the Festival San Fermín.
Every morning from July 7th until the 14th the bull run starts at 8:00.
We also have the first bullfight (the traditional one) at 18:30. But the most important event is the San Fermin's procession. It takes place in the streets of Pamplona all morning. It starts at 10:00. The best way to watch it is from a good balcony.
Viva San Fermín!

Pobre de mi
Every year, during the Festival of the bulls in Pamplona (5-14th July), the Sanfermines festival (6-14th July) happens. Every day from the 5th to the 14th of July, there is a bullfight in the arena. Thousands of people will go to live this special and unique atmosphere.
There are three floors with two main categories-high and low. The essential details are whether the precise seats are under the sun or in the shadow.
Spanish curiosity: in Pamplona when you go to the arena, you bring your snacks.
"Pobre de mi" is the closing ceremony that ends the Festival San Fermin. this is one of the most emotional events during the Festival. It happens each 14th of July at midnight in the city hall of Pamplona. The Mayor and other members of the administration usually attend the ceremony to say goodby to guests.
