From the parking we will go directly to the located in the Historic Part street where the bull run takes place. The residents whose houses happen to stand along the route hire their private balconies for visitors during the festivity. In this way we are able to enjoy the best views of the run! The owners not only will let us into their apartment but also prepare us a breakfast! The bull run called ‘encierro’ is a spectacular event that involves hundreds of people running in front of a herd of bulls down the narrow streets of the Historic Part of Pamplona. The run ends in the bullring where the bulls would be held until the afternoon's bullfight. During this time the guide will explain the history of the bull runs and all the celebrations that are going on during the festival.
