The last step. // Bullfighting is culmination of the festival embodying all its contrasts. Here two meets, but there can be only one. It has lots of opponents around the world and exactly in Spain. But each afternoon of 9-day blood marathon Pamplona bullring (one of the largest on global map) gains about 19 000 people.

The flow of life. //

Bullrunning (Encierro) makes torero from any ordinary man and sleepless paparazzi from any journalist (to get the best part of a fence photographers take places from 3 a.m. though run starts at 8 a.m.). Run lasts about 1-2 minutes only, but memories won’t easily be erased. No matter where you run – in front or behind. Exaltation overfills all the viewers and runners except the bulls. As for them it’s the death race (bulls run to the ring to be killed during the bullfight).
