user: Q: The deaths occurred during bull-running in the streets, not in bullrings. It is an unusually high number of fatalities for such a short period.
Among them was a 36-year-old town councillor gored in Penafiel, a town near Valladolid, north of Madrid.
Further north an 18-year-old man gored in the stomach died in Lerin, Navarra.
The other deaths occurred during bull festivals in the regions of Valencia, Murcia, Toledo, Castellon and Alicante.
Last year more than 7,200 bulls and steers (castrated bull calves) were killed by bullfighters across Spain, the news website El Diario reports.
Nearly 2,000 bullfights - or "corridas" - are still held in the country every year, but the numbers are falling. In 2010, Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition.
Opponents condemn bullfighting as barbaric, but it still has many fans in Spain, including Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
A Spanish law passed in 2013 defends bullfighting as part of the nation's cultural heritage, saying it is the state's duty to "preserve it and promote it", El Pais website reports.
According to Spanish economics lecturer Juan Medina at the University of Extremadura, bullfighting generated €282.4m (£200m; $313m) in 2013, of which €59m was income from sales tax (VAT).

A: Bulls have gored seven people to death during festivals across Spain since the beginning of July - four of them over the past weekend.


Q: Sheila Boon, 55, transferred money from the woman, who was in a nursing home in Bournemouth, to herself.
She then claimed her relative had no money and made claims for care costs to the local borough council.
Boon, of Weybridge, Surrey, had denied fraud by abuse of position but was found guilty after a three-week trial.
She was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on Monday.
Boon spent the money on property, travel expenses and tried to buy a car, police said.
Det Sgt Paul Smith, of Dorset Police, said the investigation into Boon had been "protracted and difficult" due to the fact the victim could not be interviewed "because of her age and frailties".
"The defendant took the decision to secure her inheritance and invested her relative's money without her consent before it was all spent on care fees," he said.

A: A woman who stole £105,000 from a "frail" elderly relative's care fund and used it to buy property has been jailed for 18 months.


Q: They said the move was part of US-led investigations into corruption at Fifa, world football's governing body.
Last month the president of Conmebol, the Paraguayan Juan Angel Napout, was extradited to the United States to face charges there.
Mr Napout has pleaded not guilty to taking millions of dollars in bribes.
Paraguay's state prosecution service said in a statement it was "searching for documentation related to the granting of commercial and broadcast rights for sporting events".
A lawyer for the confederation, Alfredo Montanaro, said the raid was "irresponsible".
"It is very strange. We have been cooperating with the judicial authorities of the United States, Uruguay and Paraguay."
Who are the indicted Fifa officials?
Mr Napout, 57, was also a Fifa vice-president. He was arrested in a dawn raid on a luxury hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, on 3 December.
He is accused of taking bribes worth millions of dollars linked to the sale of marketing rights to South American tournaments.
He resigned as Conmebol president on 11 December following his arrest and is currently banned from football.
Meanwhile, the former general secretary of Guatemala's football federation, Hector Trujillo, who has been charged with corruption in the US, has been allowed out on the terms of his house arrest.
He must wear an electronic monitor and cannot travel more than 50 miles (80km) from a federal courthouse in Brooklyn as part of a bail agreement set by a US magistrate.
The FBI investigation into Fifa corruption was initially sparked by the controversial award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, as well as the bidding process for the 2018 World Cup awarded to Russia.
But the inquiry has since been widened to look at Fifa's dealings over the past 20 years. The US says the corruption was planned in the US and US banks were used to transfer money.
