So far, six people have been injured in this year's San Fermin festival - more commonly known as the Running of the Bulls. The festival started yesterday and runs until July 14.
Every year between July 7 and 14, pandemonium rules in Pamplona, Spain, as bulls run through the streets, and people run with them. This year the bulls belong to the Dolores Aguirre breeding ranch.
The San Fermin festival dates back to medieval times, but only became popular worldwide after Ernest Hemingway published his novel "The Sun Also Rises". Hemingway was a great fan of Spain, and wrote the book about a group of British and American ex-pats, who traveled from Paris to Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls... read more and watch video of the event.
