📸 Photo of the day: The excitement of the festival’s start The “San Fermin” festival in Pamplona in northern Spain has begun. Every year, on Saturday, July 6, thousands of people gather in the city square to kick off this grand celebration. The festivities, running with bulls and playing music in the streets, will continue for eight uninterrupted days. This tradition dates back to the 16th century, when the bulls were brought from the outskirts to the city to be killed during bullfighting ceremonies. Every year, a large number of people are injured amid the chaos as the bulls pass through.
