"The ENCIERRO or RUNNING OF THE..." Pamplona Favorite Tip by DPando

Favorite thing: <font face='century gothic' color=#000080><b>The ENCIERRO</b> or RUNNING OF THE BULLS is the single most characteristic event of the Fiesta of San Fermin <p>
This is the event which has given the Fiesta world-wide fame and which appears on news broadcasts around the world during that special week in July.
<p>
It is held at eight o'clock each morning from the 7th to the 14th of July inclusive. It consists largely of young men (although it admits all types) who run in front of the bulls to lead them from their pen up and into the bull-ring. It usually lasts from two to three minutes - although if there are complications due to loose bulls it can last much longer</p>
