14 Public Holidays in Spain Did you know? Los Sanfermines, the bullfighting fiesta. The city of Pamplona is world famous thanks to its San Fermín fiestas. Thousands of people come every year to experience the risk and excitement of the popular running of the bulls, immortalised by Ernest Hemingway in his novel Fiesta. San Fermín starts on 6th July at midday. At that moment the chupinazo is launched from the balcony of the town hall. It is a rocket that marks the official start of the fiesta, causing an outburst of joy amidst the crowd gathered in the square. The first running of the bulls is held the following day: at 8am the doors of the Santo Domingo corral are opened, and hundreds of people run in front of the bulls on their route through the old town to the bullring. One of the most exciting moments happens a few minutes before the start of the running of the bulls, when runners entrust themselves to San Fermín, singing three times in front of a small statue on Cuesta de Santo Domingo Street. For nine days, Pamplona residents and visitors, dressed typically in red and white, get carried away by the continuous festive spirit that invades the streets. Furthermore, every morning during the fiestas there is a parade of giants and big-heads through the centre of the city, for the children to enjoy. The festive programme also includes open-air celebrations, concerts, dance exhibitions and, of course, bullfights. San Fermín finishes on 14th July at midnight, when the crowds make their way to the Town Hall Square and, with candles alight, sing Pobre de mí, to bid farewell to the fiesta until the following year.
