Running of the Bulls Video Guide

We sacrificed ourselves to bring San Fermín to you - braving vast quantities of protestors, party-goers, and unwilling participants. With the help of sangria and café con leche, we were able to persevere.

Pobre de Mi (closing ceremonies)

 

At midnight on July 14 the fiesta officially comes to an end with the “Pobre de Mi” celebrations. Thousands of people gather for the farewell on the Plaza Consistorial, where everything began with the Txupinazo, 8 days earlier.

Pobre de Mi, is arguably the most lovely, reflective evening: beautiful fireworks, all people hold candles and sing the traditonal song:

“Pobre de Mi, Pobe de Mi, que se han acabado las fiestas, de San Fermín."

(Poor me, poor me, for the fiesta of San Fermín has come to a close).

Txupinazo (opening ceremonies)

 

Shot during the 2006 San Fermín Festval, this 3 minute video will introduce you to the Txupinazo, or opening ceremonies of the festival, held every July 6th. While the running of the bulls is the most famous part of the festival, most Pamplonans look forward to this day because of the revelry, the religious significance, and the pageantry of the various processions.

Fountain Jumping

 

Shot during the 2006 San Fermín Festval, this 1.5 minute video introduces the new tradition of jumping off of the fountain in Plaza Navarreria. The Aussies started doing it years ago and it just seemed to catch on. Enjoy some great footage of people leaping into the arms of waiting friends.

San Fermín Festival Overview

 

Shot during the 2006 San Fermín Festval, this 5 minute video will introduce you to aspects of the festival which may not be familiar with. We took the time to get Pamplonan, Navarran, and Spanish reactions to the festival. Hosted by John Swails, this mini-documentary is actually narrated by the Spanish-speaking friends we met in Pamplona.

Many of these events occur on the 6th of July around the Txupinazo, or opening ceremonies of the festival.
