San Fermines Festival: The Running of the Bulls

Advice for New Zealanders planning to travel to Pamplona in Spain for the festival.

Each year a large number of New Zealanders travel to Pamplona in Spain for the running of the bulls festival that takes place from 6 - 14 July.

The nature of the festival, together with the large numbers of visitors in one place, can lead to a heightened number of robberies and sometimes accidental injury.

The New Zealand Embassy in Spain has advice for those going to Pamplona on their website www.nzembassy.com/spain

We encourage New Zealanders attending the festival to read this information and take the precautions advised.
