Fiesta de San Fermín

Fiesta de San Fermín, Pamplona, Spain.

On July 7th, 1923 Pamplona's fiesta of San Fermín has begun. This feast is probably Spain's most famous one. In fact, it is one of the best known festivals in the world, to a certain extent because of Ernest Hemingway's enthusiasm for it.

The northern Spanish city of Pamplona has kicked off its annual nine-day festival. The celebration—which honors the city's patron saint, San Fermín—includes fireworks, parades, music, dances, bullfights, and religious ceremonies.
