Photo Story: San Fermin Bull-Running Festival Starts in Pamplona

Thousands of people went into the streets of Pamplona, in northern Spain, to test their speed and courage in the first bull-run of the famed San Fermin festival on 7 July.

Ernest Hemingway immortalized the nine-day fiesta in his 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises".

More than a million tourists from all over the world are taking part in the week-long festival which involves bulls chasing people in Pamplona’s streets - a practice dating back to the Middle Ages.
