Imagine my surprise when I found that Pamplona was not filled with City Slicker style midlife crisis types and crazy people. It was MTV’s Spring Break in Spanish. Immediately upon our 6am train arrival we saw drunk 20-somethings in parks throughout town, passed out and scattered with the trash.
The running of the bulls was fascinating, though somewhat less than the Hollywood version of it. Only 6 wild bulls make the run, along with a few more trained to guide them on their way. After seeing it, I regretted not having the cojones to have done it myself.

Once the run is complete the stands fill with people tempting fate further
The lineup- 3000 people vs. 6 bulls.

Beer + wet roads + crowds + running = ouch.
I’m more of a chicken and beer kinda gal.
