THE Fiesta de San Fermín and the Feria del Toro, the Festival of the Bull, dates from the 14th century. #Sanfermines, as the festival is known locally in #Pamplona, and the encierro, the running of the bulls, was first introduced to the world in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises” (Fiesta) and continues to drawn thousands of visitors yearly from around the world.
The fiesta begins at noon on July 6 with the opening ceremony, the firing of the rockets, “el chupinazo,” and ends at midnight of the 14th with the "pobre de mi,” the candlelight ceremony, which also marks the beginning of the countdown to Sanfermines 2019.
