The festival of San FermÃn (or Sanfermines, Basque: Sanferminak) in the city of Pamplona (Navarre, Spain),
is a deeply rooted celebration held annually from 12:00, 6 July, when the
opening of the fiesta is marked by setting off the pyrotechnicchupinazo, to midnight 14 July, with the singing
of the Pobre de MÃ. While
its most famous event is the encierro, or the
running of the bulls, which happens at 8:00 am from
July 7th to July 14th, the week long celebration involves many other
traditional and folkloric events. It is
known locally as Sanfermines and is held in honor of Saint Fermin, the co-patron of Navarre. Its events were central to the
plot of The Sun Also Rises,
by Ernest Hemingway, which brought it to the general attention of English-speaking
people. It has become probably the most internationally renowned fiesta in Spain. Over 1, 000,000 people come to watch this
festival.
There are exhibitions and competitions of Basque rural sports every morning in the "Plaza de los Fueros", a
square close to the city citadel, although they were formerly held in the
bullring. Sports include stone lifting, wood
cutting, or hay
bale lifting. On
the other hand the Jai
alai tournament of Sanfermin is a prestigious competition of
this variety of basque
pelota. It is held in one of the courts of the city. Betting
is common during these events.
