This is in the center of the capital. The traditional Jaleo (horses) travel through the crowded streets and when the horse rears up you run into the street and try to touch the horses heart. If you touch the heart it brings you luck. If you think the running of the bulls is dangerous try this one. When the people behind you start pushing to run into the street you have no choice but to go forward. This year there were over 100 horses. It was incredible to see this as it has been a tradition longer than our country has been in existence.Sunday, September 20, 2009

Now that looks dangerous & fun. Can't say I have been at the running of the bulls in Pamplona but some of my friends tell me it is a great time. I will have to do it sometime in the future. I am sure my wife (Liz) would love it.
