What happened during the Pamplona bullfight 2023 festival
Every year, Pamplona’s annual 9-day Fiesta de San Fermín draws thousands of visitors for its famous events, including the iconic running of the bulls.
The festival begins with massive crowds gathering in Pamplona’s town square for the chupinazo, a rocket launch that marks the start of the celebrations. Throughout the festival, attendees enjoy a variety of events such as a carnival, fireworks, the running of the bulls, and numerous bullfights.
This year, approximately a million spectators have flocked to Pamplona for the running of the bulls, a tradition dating back to the early 14th century. Participants run in front of a small group of bulls through the city streets, culminating in bullfights where the bulls face matadors in a fight to the death.
Tickets for the Pamplona bullfights are highly sought after. Season tickets are sold almost exclusively to city residents and sell out well in advance. Only 1,000 tickets per day are available to the general public, leading to a thriving secondary market where these tickets are resold at much higher prices.
