Although the San Fermin festival was made globally famous by Ernest Hemingway, it has been celebrated since time immemorial, held in honour of Saint Fermin, the co-patron saint of Navarre. The most iconic part of the celebration is the encierro, or running of the bulls, which takes place each morning between the 7th and the 15th of July. The encierro features hundreds of runners that dodge bulls as they barrel down the narrow streets, thrilling participants and spectators alike. Aside from this daily event, however, the festival is defined by the non-stop revelry that consumes this otherwise sleepy provincial capital over the course of the week. Gigantes y cabezudos, papier-mâché giants and people wearing caricature masks, parade down the streets while exhibition sport and dancing events are held in all of the plazas. Spain’s finest bullfighters participate in the afternoon bullfight, while each evening an international fireworks competition takes place. Throughout the celebrations, attendees keep energized with local chorizo, vino tinto (red wine)and the regional spirit of choice, patxarán. Royal lodgings Staying in Pamplona during the San Fermin festival can be a bit stressful. With an average of over one million attendees, the city is very much at capacity. A perfect alternative is to lodge at Parador Olite, located just 20 minutes from the Navarrese capital, and set within the majestic Palace-Castle of Olite, a national monument.

The Festival As Carnivalesque: Social Governance and Control at Pamplona’S San Fermin Fiesta

All rights reserved. Copyright © 2003 Cognizant Comm. Corp. www.cognizantcommunication.com THE FESTIVAL AS CARNIVALESQUE: SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AND CONTROL AT PAMPLONA’S SAN FERMIN FIESTA NEIL RAVENSCROFT* and XAVIER MATTEUCCI† *University of Brighton, UK †Canada Using empirical data from a questionnaire survey of residents and visitors attending the 1998 San Fermin fiesta in Pamplona, Spain, this article offers a critique of the contemporary construction of festivals as interpretive devices. Informed by the work of Bakhtin, this article makes the case that festivals should be understood as carnivalesque inversions of the everyday, deployed to maintain and reinforce social order and, thus, the discipline of bodies. This is achieved, it is argued, by creating “liminal zones” in which people can engage in “deviant” practices, safe in the knowledge that they are not transgressing the wider social structure they encounter in everyday life. It is suggested that the attraction of visitors is crucial, in providing a “cover” for this activity, as well as a conduit for the gradual legitimation of new and revised social values. The article concludes by arguing that this need for tourists (local and outsiders) is both recognized and embraced by residents and visitors alike, with neither fraction naive enough to believe that authenticity resides in representation, or even cultural (re)production. Festivals Social relations Interpretation Introduction: Festivals and the Reproduction tive memories are related less to their historical or of Social Relations social context, and more to the increasing abstraction and rerouting of cultural meanings.

WALLS .............................10 SAN FERMÍN ...................16 THE WAY ..........................23 GREEN .............................26 FOOD ................................32 WHAT TO BUY? .....................36 PAMPLONA ES MUCHO MÁS PRACTICAL INFORMATION ..38 Pamplona -Iruña in Basque- is a comfortable, warm, friendly and safe city for visitors, and one which is always eager to make itself known. Located on the Way of St James, Pamplona is the first city pilgrims come across on their way from Roncesvalles, a fact which has conditioned its history and character since ancient times. Its Renaissance fortifications are among the finest in Europe. Its parks and gardens never cease to amaze visitors. And in addition to all this, it has outstanding traditional food, based on the high quality of its local products, and a varied cultural agenda. Whatever the time of year, it is well worth taking a break to enjoy Pamplona’s cultural programme, its small music, food and art festivals, and all the events it hosts at both its smaller concert halls and larger venues: Teatro Gayarre, Navarra Arena and the Baluarte conference centre and auditorium. Finally, from the 6th to the 14th of July the unique and endearing Festival of San Fermín turns Pamplona into the place to be both for partying and culture of the highest order for locals and visitors of all types and ages. All these things and many more make Pamplona a capital full of history and stories with a highly distinctive identity, the fruit of its historical relevance and age-old culture.

The Running of the Bulls Is a Spanish Tradition in Pamplona. It Lasts 8 Days and It All Starts on July 6 Exactly at Midday When the Mayor of Pamplona Shoots a Rocket
The running of the bulls is a Spanish tradition in Pamplona. It lasts 8 days and it all starts on July 6 exactly at midday when the mayor of Pamplona shoots a rocket. This is a sign that the celebration has started. The participants are dressed in white and they wear red neck-cloths and belts. They open champagne, mostly used for sprinkling other people. Then the situation becomes very wild. There are a lot of people on the street: sellers, gamblers, wind bands, giant puppets, singing Indians, thousands of locals and tourists. Their habit is drinking a lot of alcohol, especially red wine. The main event is running of the bulls or encierro in Spanish. It starts every day at eight in the morning near the Plaza Santo Domingo and they run, sometimes wildly, sometimes less. As a sign that the run has begun they shoot the first rocket. Then they shoot the second one when the bulls are out on the streets. Six bulls which are trying to attack the participants from behind run down the 900 meters long street to the bullring with a lot of spectators. The participants can also get hurt or even killed. All of the six bulls are going to be killed at the bull fight in the stadium with six other stronger bulls. The bull fights in the stadium begin at half past six in the afternoon. First, there comes the first bull. There is also a person called “picador”, who waves a red cloth in front of the bull. That makes the bull very nervous so it becomes very wild and starts to run all over the stadium.
