Spain is renowned for its year-round festivals, with "Encierro," or "The Run of the Bulls," drawing global attention each July in Pamplona. Spectators gather as six bulls and six steers charge through the city's cobblestone streets, embodying the phrase "A Bull in a China Shop" with their wild energy.
In Pamplona, Spain, El Toro Delicado Restaurant and Bar embraces this festivity and Spanish tradition.
