One died during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain

Friday the 10th of July the famous and at the same time notorious running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain meant another ones’ death.

We feel sad about this though anyone who joins these runs knows this could happen… Check the video of this tragic run: http://sanfermin.com/index.php/en/sf09/videos/encierros-sanfermin/encierro-dia-10

When hearing about such things, last year’s number of 457 people injured and the bullying of the bulls to get them aggressive before they enter the street makes us wonder whether this event should be highlighted on our blogsite. However, when looking at the truly awesome pictures on SanFermin.com we cannot help but feel the enormous energy that goes round this tradition that has been there for centuries. There’s a true love-hate relationship with this event…

Let us know what your feelings are about this event, we’re curious.
