A Rush Of Blood
TO THE HEAD
Were taking you on a visual tour
of the famed week-long Spanish
festival of San Fermn held in the
charismatic town of Pamplona
every July. Grab a beer and
picture yourself running in front
of bulls, in the midst of all the
action, but sans the injuries.
by VAIBHAV MEHTA
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE!
Folk from across the world have gathered to
celebrate the festival diligently dressed in
customary red and white. This is a celebratory
scene at the Bull Fight Arena after the last fight
of the day. Theres a deafening mix of music
and drunken chatter as emotions run high and
several bands take centrestage.
THE MARCH OF
THE GIANTS
The March of the Giants is an exciting
and integral part of the festival. Four giant
pairs of kings and queens, each about four
metres high, are marched through the
narrow streets of Pamplona swathed in red
and white. The statues represent the four
parts of the world: Europe, Africa, Asia,
and the Americas.
