San Fermin

This past weekend I went to Pamplona to celebrate San Fermin, which is a week long celebration known for the running of the bulls. It was an amazing experience and I had so much fun with all my friends. The streets are literally packed with thousands of people...where drinking is the number one choice for entertainment. We spent the night sleeping on the grass in a park and against a railing once we found our spot for el encierro (the running of the bulls). I posted the video from our spot on my class blog and another classmate posted her video from their seats inside the actual stadium where the "baby bulls" are let out for people to tease.

The next day on Saturday, we managed to convince the people at the bus station to change our tickets so we could take an earlier bus to San Sebastian. San Sebastian was absolutely gorgeous! It is known for one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain, Playa de la concha. We spent all of Saturday and Sunday just laying on the beach and walking around the town.
