TV viewers from all over the world are surprised, impressed or shocked each year when they watch the spectacle of bulls running through the streets of the town and hundreds of young men, usually dressed in traditional white shirts and red belts, ahead of them.

The bulls' route winds half a mile (0.8 kilometer) through town from an enclosure on Santo Domingo Street to the city's bullring, where each bull fights a matador in the afternoon. See also hotels near the Pamplona bull ring.
