Running of the Bulls, Spain
Name and Location: Running of the Bulls, Pamplona, Spain
Date: July 6- July 14, 2012
Details: Any celebration where 16 people have been killed and 250 people get injured each year is one I'm going to stay away from. But it seems like I'm the only one. Thousands of people head to Pamplona, Spain, every July to see a herd of bull chase after a group of daring men for half a mile. Barricades are set up to direct the bulls (and the runners too), and hoards of people gather to see the race. Before the run begins, participants pray to Saint Fermin for protection...they certainly need all the help they can get.
