Bullfights occur every evening during the festival.
Every morning at 7 AM, a rocket announces that the bulls for the evening's fights have been loosed from their corral to run 1,000 meters through the barricaded streets of the city to the bullring. Brave and foolhardy citizens wearing traditional red and white neckerchiefs test their courage by running ahead of the herd, ducking into building entries as stampeding bulls near. Believe it or not there aren't very many deaths. Although we have yet to try this, its certainly on our top ten list of stupid things to try. But this isn't the only thing to do while you're there, Pamplona is very close to France as well.
