La Fiesta de San Fermín - el 7 de julio

Chupinazo in Plaza Consistorial

• At noon on 6 July Pamplonas plazas and
  streets are packed with people awaiting the
  firing of a rocket to signal the opening of the
  celebration. They hold their pañuelos or scarves
  above their heads and chant the Saints name,
  San Fermín! San Fermín! San Fermín!. This image
  depicts part of the crowd in front of the
  Ayuntamiento, town hall. All eyes are intently
  fixed on the balcony from which the rocket will
  be fired.

Los Gigantes

• The morning procession of the Gigantes and their
  court begins promptly each day at 930 a.m. and
  winds its way through the old quarter. These huge
  figures, created by Navarran artist Tadeo Amorena
  in the 1800s, represent the kings and queens of
  Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The Gigantes
  are accompanied by a colorful court comprised of
  seventeen somewhat smaller and more colorful
  characters known as Cabezudos, Kilikis, and
  Zaldikos

La Fiesta de San Fermín

• A young girl attired in the traditional dress of
  her homeland, participates in a dance troupe that
  performs songs and dances dating back centuries.
  This proud culture, its customs and traditions
  are on display in large and small ways throughout
  the days and nights of Fiesta de San Fermín. The
  many cultural events and exhibitions listed in
  the official program of fiesta are far too many
  for any person to attend. Informal impromptu
  displays are encountered in the streets.

El Encierro

• In Cuesta de Santo Domingo, the very beginning
  of the encierro, the bulls are usually tightly
  packed as depicted in this image and they are
  racing at a rate of speed no human can match but
  for a few moments. Experienced runners who know
  Santo Domingo well can be seen here every
  morning, running in the Navarran style, oble y
  bravo, in the aura of danger and on the horns.

El Encierro

• Turning out of Plaza Consistorial and onto the
  shortest section of the route, Calle Mercaderes,
  nearly halfway through the course, the bulls
  remain tightly packed, pushing a mass of humanity
  before them. Only this segment of the course and
  the bullring itself are bathed in sunlight at
  this early morning hour. The balance of the
  half-mile route is shaded by tall, balconied
  buildings.

El fín de la Fiesta

• At midnight on July 14 fiesta ends. Again the
  streets and plazas are packed. The closing is as
  different from and as dramatic as the opening on
  noon the sixth. All carry candles and sing a
  mournful dirge. A rocket fires and pañuelos are
  untied. The faces in this image capture the
  emotion of the last moments of fiesta.

El matador
El traje de luces
Las banderillas
La muleta

• In his Traje de Luces, suit of light, Matador
  Julian Lopez, El Juli, executes a left-handed
  pass known as a naturale with the bull fixed in
  the muleta or small red cloth. El Juli has been a
  sensation since he fought and killed a young bull
  on the day he made his first communion. The
  brave, artistic, baby-faced torero sells out
  bullrings on two continents, earning millions of
  dollars each year. A favorite in the Pamplona
  Plaza de Toros, the crowd chants his name,
  Ju-li!, Ju-li! Ju-li!

The Sun Also Rises, 1926

• Quite possibly Hemingway's best novel,
• The Sun Also Rises captures the romantic
  idleness and angst of the 1920s Lost Generation
  in most candid form. As a group of post-WWI
  expatriates saunter between wine and bullfights
  in Left Bank Paris and Pamplona, their love and
  self-worth rise and fall with luminous drama. The
  narrator Jake Barnes, a thinly veiled version of
  the author, recounts his ebbing relationships
  with ex-boxer Robert Cohen and love interest
  Brett Ashley as they deal with their masculinity,
  morals and unrealized loves. For all the sexist
  talk about Hemingway, he creates a most modern
  woman out of Brett Ashley, who definitely wears
  the pants in her relationships and struggles to
  break free from insulated female roles of the
  past. Inspired by a trip to the Fiesta de San
  Fermin in Pamplona, Spain in 1925, Hemingway
  based his characters on actual friends and when
  it was published in 1926, it immediately
  established him as one of the greatest writers of
  his time

Ray Mouton

• was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, received a law
  degree from LSU and practiced in his home state
  until 1988 before beginning to devote himself to
  writing full time. A novel, After Advent, was
  awarded first prize in manuscript form by The
  Deep South Writers Conference. He has written
  several film scripts and is at work on a novel
  drawn from his experience in the law.     His
  relationship with Pamplona dates to 1970 when he
  camped on the river bank behind the bullring and
  he has attended Sanfermines every year since
  1986. He lived in Sevilla for periods of time and
  spent winters on a bull ranch in the mountains of
  Mexico, places where he pursued his interest in
  the subjects and themes of this book.     He has
  three children and a stepson. Mouton and his wife
  divide their time between Europe, Mexico, and the
  French Quarter of New Orleans.
• Pamplona's Fiesta has been described as "the
  best week you can live on the planet," and this
  book takes you to the epicenter of the grand
  festival in Spain's Basque country.
