Performers dressed as traditional figures dance through the streets during the San
Performers dressed as oversized traditional figures dance through the streets during the San Fermin festival in Pamplona July 10, 2012. Visitors to the nine-day festival, depicted in Ernest Hemingways 1926 novel " The Sun Also Rises", take part in activities including the running of the bulls, an early morning half-mile dash from the corral to the bullring alongside six bulls destined to die in the afternoons corrida. This is followed by processions of giant traditional figures, concerts, firebulls, fireworks, and large doses of eating, drinking, dancing and late nights.
