Sanfermines

Today was the last day of the San Fermin festival. The Sanfermines is a very well known tradition in Spain and it takes part in Pamplona. This tradition of running the bulls started in XVI century and has kept up until now. It takes part between the seventh and the fourteenth of July. I like watching the Sanfermines but I don't like watching the bullfighting after it, because its a very cruel sport. People also get drunk during the festival.
Originally the sanfermines were only run by the pamplonenses but now lots of people without experience run too, this causes lots of injuries because the bulls get nervous and try to attack people.

This is a good example of a normal running of the bulls:
