A ‘MUST’ FOR SAN FERMIN
7TH JULY FAMOUS VENUE ONLY IN SANFERMIN Once upon a time a family began a simple churrería business. Over decades their business and their delicious churros became famous. Today the family tradition is carried on but only during San Fermin. It’s breakfast in the streets
Dangerous below, safe above without missing any of the action. You are close enough to hear the clonking of the bulls’ hooves as they charge up the cobblestome streets of the old town. You are literally meters away. The tension in the air is palpable. There is a lot more to the running of the bulls than initially meets the eye. Your guide will point out the particularities of each stage of the run and review the reruns in slow motion full of commentary by enthusiastic experts.
The san fermin procession The Procession of San Fermin is the dearest of traditions in Pamplona. The solemn parade of the Bishop, Pamplona’s official band, politicians, Dantzaris, the Basque dancers, the magical figures of giants and bigheads, and parades of Pamplonicas fill the streets.
DANCING THE MORNING AWAY This exclusive event at the private club dating back to 1870 gives a taste of the old tradition. This authentic venue in itself is worth the visit. The belle epoch of the famous Café Iruña comes to life.

TAURINO TRADITIONS Tradition dictates that before the bulls are fought in the afternoon, they are paired with the bullfighters in a formal social act called El Apartado. From above the corrals and with a glass cava in hand, we get a close up view of these magnificent beasts and watch them channeled one by one through a series of chiqueros, before they are coaxed into individual pens and ready for the bullfight.
BASQUE TRADITIONS Get the full feldged locals experience by joining us to a Pelota match .The festive atmosphere is uncanny; an event that will give you some insight into the sports traditions of hand ball in the Basque tradition. The players play in two formats; one on one or two on two. Blues against the Reds and you can join in on the fun and bet on the winner(s). We cheer for our team as we sip on cocktails
THE BULLFIGhT The bullfight in San Fermin is unlike any spectacle you are likely to see anywhere else in the world and is far from the classic Spanish bullfight. The crowds cheer on only the bravest and best of bullfighters. Probably the most important decision is whether you want to be in the sun or shade. The experience is quite different.
Fiesta in the sun and tradition in the shade
