Festival of San Fermin, Basque Country, Spain

Spain's Basque Country and the Festival of San Fermin

Bullfight

Festival of San Fermin

In this episode, Julie & Mark give you a new perspective on the world famous "Festival of San Fermin" in Pamplona, Spain. Crazy or not, each year thousands of revelers hit the streets for the traditional "Running of the Bulls".

The frenetic activity continues in the streets till dawn, with all ages participating in the dancing, partying and parades.

The action culminates in the bullring where silk clad matadors take on the thirteen hundred-pound behemoths.

Is it an elegant spectacle or a cruel sport? We'll let you decide.

The journey through the Basque Country begins in the glamorous French coastal resort of Biarritz, where surfers tote their boards past chic tourists and casinos. From Biarritz, Julie & Mark visit the charming fishing village of St. Jean de Luz, then cycle through the foothills of the Pyrenees to reach Pamplona to take part in the ultimate Basque celebration.
