THE FESTIVAL OF SAN FERMIN

AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING THE PEOPLE BEGIN THE RUN. THEN 6 COWS RUN ALONG THE STREETS.

LATER 6 BULLS START THE RUN. THERE ARE PEOPLE LINED BEHIND BARRICADES ALONG THE STREETS. VERY QUICKLY THE BULLS AND COWS CATCH UP WITH THE PEOPLE. THIS IS WHEN IT

GETS VERY DANGEROUS. THEY ALL RUN TOWARD A BULL RING WHERE YOUNG MEN PRACTICE TO BE MATADORS. THE PEOPLE EAT A LOT OF ROASTED CHICKEN DURING THE FESTIVAL. THIS OCCURS

EVERY MORNING FOR TWO WEEKS IN JULY.
