Running of the Bulls festival in Spain

Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona (Spain)

   This funny and crazy festival is held in Spain every year. The Running of the Bulls (in Spanish encierro) is a practice that involves running in front of a small group of bulls that have been let loose on a course of a sectioned-off subset of a town's streets. Spanish tradition says the true origin of the run began in north-eastern Spain during the early in 14th century. While transporting cattle in order to sell them at the market, men would try to speed the process by hurrying their cattle using tactics of fear and excitement. After years of this practice, the transportation and hurrying began to turn into a competition, as young adults would attempt to race in front of the bulls and make it safely to themselves without being overtaken. When the popularity of this practice increased and was noticed more and more by the expanding population of Spanish cities, a tradition was created and stands to this day. In Pamplona and other places, the six bulls in the event are still those that will feature in the afternoon bullfight of the same day.
