San Fermínes: The Eighth and Final “Encierro”

A safe but spectacular race through Pamplona made the last running at this year’s San Fermín festival one of the most memorable.  Daring participants were able to jump in front of the bulls at breakneck speed and keep their pace just steps ahead of the animals over long swaths of the route.  This, Pamploneses would argue, was everything an encierro should be, a safe but dazzling display of man vs. beast.
