It's that time of year again when the northern town of Pamplona in Spain sees thousands of daredevils running alongside fighting bulls through the old quater during the San Fermin festival.
The fiestas are celebrated in honor of San Fermin, patron saint of Navarra, although the religious aspect would seem to have taken on a secondary role over the last number of years. Nowadays, the fiestas are seen as a mass gathering of party people from all the corners of the world.
