Pamplona Airport Guide
The time to visit Pamplona is during the San Fermin Festival which runs from the 6th to the 14th July. During this you can take part, together with hundreds of locals, in the very dangerous but exciting ‘running of the bulls’. In this ‘race’ people set off on a route before the bulls are released hoping to get to the end of the race before being gored or trampled.
If you were fascinated by the bull run, take a trip next to Plaza de Toros, the world’s third largest bullring and still in use today. Even if you don’t like the idea of bullfighting, visiting the museum there is very interesting.
