올해도 이번 주에 Pamplona에서 열린 소와 도심을 달리는 그들의 축제는 세계의 이목을 끌고 경이의 눈으로 감탄을 금치 못하겠다. 12마리 정도의 황소를 우리에서 내쫓는 것으로 시작하여 좁은 골목길을 지나가는 동안 운집한 관중들 중 달리기에 자신있으며 도전하고 싶은 정신이 가득한 용감한 젊은이들이 앞에서 옆에서 뒤에서 뛰는 것을 보면서 조마조마한 마음을 가눌 길이 없다. 사람에 걸려 넘어지기가 싶상인데다 미처 뒤에서 달려오는 소를 보지 못하여 받치기도 하는데 크게 안 다쳤으면 하는 마음이 가득하다. 올 해도 예년 처럼 엄청난 사람들이 모여 축제 한마당을 벌였다. 동영상을 보며 스릴 넘치는 현장감을 느껴 보는 재미도 상당하다.
마지막에 7월 7일날 한 것과 8일, 9일, 2010년 10일과 11일에 벌어졌던 소몰이를 보시라.
소들은 전체 길이 825미터의 좁은 골목길을 약 3분 정도로 통과하여 투우장까지 가서 오후에 투우 경기용으로 사용되고 그 날 뛴 소들은 전부 죽는다. 모인 참가자들은 성자에게 신변 보호를 위하여 세 번의 구호를 외치고 첫 번째 불꽃이 쏘아지는 것으로 소가 나오기 시작하여 마지막 소가 우리에서 나오면 두 번째로 알리고 투우장에 모든 소가 들어가면 세 번째 불꽃을 쏘고 우리에 완전히 다 들어가면 네 번째 불꽃을 쏘아 경기가 끝남을 알린다.

Running of the bulls
The running of the bulls involves hundreds of people running in front of six bulls and another six steers down an 825-metre (0.51 mile) stretch of narrow streets of a section of the old town of Pamplona. The event begins at 8 a.m. when a first firecracker is lit to announce the release of the bulls from their corral. It is held between the 7th and the 14th. Runners gather earlier at the beginning of the itinerary to ask for the protection of the Saint by singing a chant three times before a small statue of San Fermin which has been placed in a raised niche in a wall. A second cracker signals that the last bull has left the corral. The run ends in the Pamplona's bullring taking a mean time of around 3 minutes where the bulls would be held until the afternoons bullfight when they would be killed. Once all of the bulls have entered the arena, a third rocket is released while a fourth firecracker indicates that the bulls are in their bullpens and the run has concluded. The event is dangerous. Since 1925, 15 people have been killed during the event –– most recently on 10 July 2009 -- and every year between 200 and 300 people are injured during the run although most injuries are contusions due to falls and are not serious. After the end of the run young cows with wrapped horns are released in the bullring and toss the participants, to the amusement of the crowd.
Pamplona, Spain
An Australian man was gored in the leg and six other people were injured Friday as daredevils ran with fighting bulls at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona.
The second of eight mad dashes at Spain's most famous summer festival
featured bulls known for being fast and prone to poking people with their horns.
The Navarra regional government said on its website that besides the 25-year-old gored man, six other people were treated at hospitals, most of them foreigners. None of their names or hometowns were given.
Two Americans aged 22 and 21 — the first with an injured right leg, the second with a hurt lip — were treated and released.
The other four were a Briton from Birmingham, an Italian from Rome, another Australian and a Spaniard, all with minor injuries from falls or being trampled.
Taunted bull The Australian who was gored had taunted a brown bull from close up in the bullring that marks the end of the sprint.
He suffered an injury to an artery and vein in his right leg that was described as serious, although the San Fermin press office said his life was not in danger.
The man had waved his arms at the 1,200-pound bull, then slipped and fell and was attacked.
Friday's run was fast for the most part because the six fighting bulls and six steers meant to keep them more or less in a pack did in fact stay together for much of the 928-yard course.
But the brown bull that attacked at the end had separated from the pack about halfway through the run — among the most dangerous things that can happen at San Fermin.
A bull that is isolated can get disoriented and nervous and even start running the wrong way.
Faux pas
When bulls finish the run by trotting into the ring, runners are supposed to keep clear and let handlers with capes or long, thin sticks guide animals into stalls, as crowds in the stands cheer.
When bulls finish the run by trotting into the ring, runners are supposed to keep clear and let handlers with capes or long, thin sticks guide animals into stalls, as crowds in the stands cheer.
But the Australian man committed the San Fermin faux pas of getting up close to the bull and teasing it in a flashy way by waving his arms.
Another of the injured was a man who fell to the ground early in the run and saw virtually the entire pack of bulls and steers run over him.
The festival has six more runs to go.
The Saturday and Sunday ones are usually the most dangerous because the crowd of runners that come from around the world swells with thrill-seekers who come into town just for the weekend.
