PAMPLONA
Pamplona is the
capital city of the Navarre region. It is best known for its
annual bull run in which bulls are released into the narrow streets
in a mad stampede to the bull ring. Brave (or stupid) people,
many fuelled by alcohol, mingle with the bulls, some getting
trampled in the process. This rather primitive ritual has
become a focal point for animal rights campaigners in recent years,
with at least one (Debbie Moore) being severely gored in the
process. Apart from the bull run, the city has quite a rich
history. It is said to have been founded by the Roman general
Pompey in the 9th century. The best view of the city is from
the ancient city walls. The cathedral built on the site
of its 12th century predecessor overlooks the Rio Arga below.
