"It was at that moment when the bull runs ahead of the Spaniard, showing courage and bravery, he wins a coward becomes a man" - say pamplontsev. A coward is from what. After all, the only "weapon" that allowed «corredores», running - it folded newspaper.

The entire route runs (from the corral to the bullring through the streets) fenced wooden beams of the barriers that are fairly easy to climb (or crawl under them). Runners are a few points along the route. It is not necessary to run the full distance, though, because it is dangerous for life. Local runners often run only half way

The name of the city of Pamplona, capital of the autonomous region of Navarre, in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, was the name of the Roman general Pompey, which is 75 BC. e. He founded a Roman colony. In the VIII century the city was destroyed by the Moors at first, then King of the Franks Charlemagne. In the XI century, Pamplona was briefly the capital of the whole of Christian Spain. Now, this beautiful city is famous mostly for its national holiday, which each year takes place from 7 to 14 July

Meanwhile, residents of Pamplona campaigned for the resolution of the female "enserro ', which involved only women, but instead the bulls - the cows. The campaign is called - "Cows want to run!»

In the past few years, the fairer sex is permitted to try themselves at the festival of San Fermin, but women continue to be represented on it only a small handful of participants.
