Board your coach today & get the party started & we make our way to sunny Spain. Over the next week long adventure you’ll live the legend at Pamplona's one & only San Fermín Festival with the famous Running of the Bulls. Chill out on the coach, listen to some music & chat to your new travel buddies as we journey overnight making our way south through France to Pamplona.
Hola! This afternoon we arrive in Pamplona as we get ready for the adrenalin pumping experience you’re about to have! The population of Pamplona explodes for this 9 day party, known as San Fermín, with around 350,000 travellers heading to this usually quiet town to experience a slice of the bull running action for themselves. On arrival, we'll head to the campsite where your tent & airbed will be set up for you so you're ready to go (just don’t forget your sleeping bag!). Tonight gets the party started with our delicious dinner and sangria party!
Jump on a shuttle & head in to town Pamplona for your first experience of the bull run. Live it like a local & play a part in this 400 year old tradition, where bulls are let loose through the city streets. This buzzing atmosphere is guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime experience! Don your red & white gear if you're game enough to get amongst it - or steer clear as a spectator - the vibes are just as exciting. After the run, choose to stay around town, or you could take it easy too - relax back at the campsite & top up your tan by the pool. You can take it up a level tonight, there’s loads of fun at the campsite or stick around town at a local spot or see a bull fight as the shuttle service runs late into the night.
Jump back on a shuttle & head back to Pamplona for the final run and experience the buzzing atmosphere of the closing ceremony tonight if you’re keen. It's guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime experience. Referred to as the ‘Pobre de Mi’ – the official closing ceremony takes place in front of the Town Hall at midnight. Party until the end & maybe learn the closing song off the locals so you can really join in! After the shop shutters close, the San Fermín is over – so head back to the campsite for some well needed sleep!
After a late breakfast, it’s time to farewell the sun & good times. Jump back on the coach & snooze or hang out with your travel buddies & re-live the awesome memories from the last few days as we start the journey back to London through France. On arrival in London this afternoon, make sure you swap addresses with your new buddies as the tour ends upon arrival.
