el encierro
Happy fiesta de San Fermin! aka. running of the bulls day in Pamplona.
It heartens me that there are places in world where people carry on insane traditions like this. Seriously. There is absolutely no good reason, within the context of modern society, for people to let agitated half tonne animals with large horns loose in the street, and then have a sprinting contest with them while dressed in white pants and red kerchiefs. But they do, and God bless them. Sometimes what the world needs is an excuse for a party that includes dressing up in a mildly silly outfit and running hell bent for leather.
