Pamplona
(or Iruñea, - as it is called in Euskera-Basque Language)
is a fairly small provincial capital - with a population of
about 190.000 people. It sits under the shadow of the Pyrennes,
about 50 kilometers south of the mountain range, on its west
side.

running of the bulls is
the single most characteristic event of the Fiesta of San
Fermin. 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.

el encierre (lunes 7 de Julio 2003)
|
|
|
With
the first rays of light of the early morning the wooden fencing
which lines the route is closed off. Then the night-long revellers
are gradully cleared from the streets which line the route
by the local police. The street-cleaners then move in to mop
up the accumulated rubbish and dirt caused by the night-long
revellery.
