San Firmin fiestas


Everywhere fiestas in Spain. The biggest ones for the moment in Pamplona, where the bull runs are held in the streets, the San Firmin fiestas.

But there is more than bull runs in Pamplona. It starts with the 'chupinaza', the official start of the fiesta when 1000's of bottles are opened and drunk.
In moments the whole town is delirious and drunk. You love it or you hate it. But if you have been to one of those spanish fiestas, you know you feel alive.



Hemingway himself in 1959, glass of wine, very civilized.
