The famous Running of the Bulls is an annual event July 7-14 in Pamplona. The Running of the Bulls is part of the Fiesta of San Fermin that began way back in 1591. The original purpose was to move the bulls into the arena. A handful of brave people would run in front of the bulls. Ernest Hemingway wrote about the Fiesta in his book The Sun Also Rises, which he wrote in 1926. This book made the Fiesta more popular, and now hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world travel to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. At 8 am every morning the bulls are let loose from the corral at one end of town and herded about a half mile through the streets of Pamplona to the stadium. The run lasts two to three minutes. Who do you think can run faster, a bull or a person?
