San Fermin is not only blood, adrenaline and wine, it is also carnivals, dances, processions of giant puppets, fireworks - in general, a holiday in the full sense of the word. When San Fermin passes, and it goes on for almost 9 July days, the streets of Pamplona turn red and white. White is the traditional festive color of the Spaniards, and the symbol of the festival is a red neckerchief or belt.
San Fermin is famous primarily due to the encierro - running from 12 angry bulls. Of more than 216 hours of celebration, the encierro actually lasts about a quarter of an hour. All the rest of the time - round-the-clock fun, ritual festivities, carnivals, processions of huge dolls, costume performances, performances by street artists, bullfighting.
During the famous morning run of the bulls, almost every year there are severe misfortunes, sometimes human casualties (usually drunken foreigners).
