Running of the Bulls (Pamplona, Spain)

ItemImage

In July of each year, thousands gather in Pamplona, Spain to test themselves by running through town just steps in front of stampeding bulls.

Hemingway brought this event to the attention of the English speaking world in The Sun Also Rises in the 1920's. If you have English speakers, you get busybodies clucking their tongues and condemning other cultures and events. Leave them alone, sez I.

Bullfighting is gradually dying in Spain, as soccer is slowing taking over. The dictator, Primo de Rivera, in the 1920's started this process by building all those big soccer stadiums. Too bad. I much prefer bull-fighting over soccer.
