Bull Running from the Arena

12 July 2011

After catching up on sleep we woke up to see the Bull Running from the Arena. After 1 hour of nervous waiting in two minutes it was all over. After the run and then they had entertainment with 5 little bulls they brought into the arena who knocked out some people, dragged others around the ring and sat a few people on their bums.

We had a great night drinking sangria in the streets, joinin in with the bands and marches and watching the amazing fireworks display.



Entertainment before the bull run in the Arena. They had a big sceen of the preparations and live running


Just one in the crowd


The baby bulls trying their best to horn some people in the arena


There were all these bands with flags that went through the streets and there was a competition where the one with the most followers got some prize.


The streets of the bull run turn into a big street party all day long


At 10pm every night they had the fireworks bull which chases all the kids. There were sparks flying everywhere and kids screaming


Every night at 11pm there was a fireworks display. They were the best displays I have even seen. A different family in the city put it on each night of the festival. They were judged and the winner will win 30,000 Euro.
