The Festival of San Fermin 2013
Every year, the Festival of San Fermin, including the "Running of the Bulls", attracts thousands of visitors to Pamplona, Spain. Lasting nine days, the festival kicks off with massive crowds at the Chupinazo in Pamplona town square, followed by a carnival, fireworks, the running of the bulls, and many bullfights. Held since 1591, San Fermin remains a popular, if also dangerous and controversial, event -- dozens of people were injured this year. The festival came to an end yesterday, July 14. Collected here are scenes from this year's Festival of San Fermin.
