... by the west coast which the Patrol managed OK despite shed loads of black smoke. Stayed about 15 miles South West of Pamplona near Puerte la Reina. Puerta la Reina is very small and reminded me of Kirkby Lonsdale. Watched mock Bull fighting in Puerte ...
Running of the Bulls!!!
... of Madrid and rode overnight for 5.5 hours. Our bus driver felt the need to make multiple smoke breaks so we didn't get to Pamplona until 7:10AM and then had to sprint from the bus station to where the bulls ran to catch it at 8. It was sooooo packed, we ...
Running of the Bulls
Running of the Bulls after partying in Ibiza. I ran 3 days and 1 day with Gianni and Miguel. We meet some other BU people (Adrain and Marcus) but I did not know them. Took a flight from Ibiza to ...
Pink Printing Disaster
... Mariela had to go upstairs to one of the computers and email the work to herself. Easy? NOT! She went downstairs, opened her email and found that the documents wouldn’t open because the program was too old (as in 1997 old) and couldn’t process ...

... guys wearing yellow tights and scientist jackets. They explained that their name is Tuna and they travel around Spain and other European countries serenading women. Umm okay. Those who were dressed in formal clothes had reached senior level and ...
Pamplona
... is understandable; not much stayed alive around Hemmingway for too long unless it slept with him or brought him large whiskeys. Pamplona is cool and muscular, well mannered but sometimes hot headed. It is really a bit of an overgrown country town with ...

Running of the bulls, bused in at 7 and left at 10 the next morning. Long, fun ...
Bulls Away
... *t?Ô organised any accom. so we had to spend the night in the car (a small VW Golf). We woke up at 6:30 in the morning and drove around Pamplona for a while to find a park, we ended up parking in some kind of park a while out of town. We ran up the ...
My First Bull
... the first to attempt to try and quickly become airborne as the animal flips me towards the heavens. Charging, then stopping, spinning and charging again, these smaller ones are amazingly agile and hella quick. A few get whacks in, others get knocked to ...
I'm too fat to run away from Bulls..
... seek, as you may have guessed from the name, Basque independence. The Basque country is basically part of Northern Spain and some of Southern France and a majority of the population probably really couldn't give a flying fuck about independence. ...
Becoming reacquainted with family
As an introduction to this entry, I'll explain a bit about my family background. Dad was born in Galicia (northwestern region of Spain) and moved to Argentina when he was 5 years old. His family is more or less pure Spanish. Mum's family on the other hand ...
Hear My Train A-Comin'
... than that, the park itself was quite boring and over-hyped. All-in-all, the self-administered walking tour of Barcelona and the nightlife experience was enjoyable and extremely recommended. After minimal sleep, we attempted to find a metro station and use ...
Pamplona
... , but after seeing the smog surrounding the city from the autopista (motorway) we decided to keep going. We arrived in Pamplona in mid-afternoon and walked around the city centre, looking for a star-shaped citadel. We didnt find it, but found some huge ...
Heading back is so hard to do
... though so pretty peeved. However, all things happen for a reason & this was a lesson I had to learn. I decided to head back to Pamplona just in case. The road back is so much harder, let me tell you. I got lost a couple of times, I don't know how ...
Back running with the bulls
Back in Pamplona for a few days to give my body a chance to settle itself down. Eating heaps of leafy greens to hopefully speed the process up, pretty sure this will thicken my blood up a bit. Am now convinced that it is the smoking, or lack of, that ...
Sooo tired in Pamplona
... some advantages I suppose, getting used to sleeping at odd hours allows me to nap at anytime. I took the easy option when I arrived at Pamplona and got a cab from the station to the hotel and glad that I did. It would have have been around a 4km walk on ...
WOW! These people know how to throw a party!!!
... After a very warm day of lugging our packs through Barcelona with us in the 90 degree heat, we returned to the train and headed off to Pamplona. We arrived a sea of people dressed in ONLY white and red. One of the most amazing sights I've ...
Psycho lived here
... that you could say we saw any of the sights though. Then continuing northwards we stopped and had lunch at a roadside cafeteria, and pushed on to Pamplona where we are stopped for the night in a very grand old hotel. Dont think there are any other guests ...
The Other Running of the Bulls
Pamplona, Navarra, Spain 15 July By Andréa Bizkerre Naked PETA supporters aside, there is a lot more to the San Fermín Festival week that you may have already discovered. Many things happen to be as memorable and as part of the festivities ...
The biggest party ever... E V E R.
... to see the bull run path before it got fenced off. At this stage we hadn't really seen any of Spain, so when our coaches arrived in the heart of Pamplona it was SO exciting. It was so much bigger than I had expected. We walked right into the middle and ...
What a load of......BULL
... from Primary School! It just reminds me what a small world we do actually live in. After many street partys, watching stupid guys (and girls for that matter) jump of the infamous Mussell Bar and watch one to many bulls run, we headed back to London ...
San Fermin - Part II
