Before You Die: Fiesta De San Fermin by Mark Eveleigh
At noon on the sixth of July the chupinazo (rocket) explodes above Pamplona’s baroque town hall, heralding the start of Las Fiestas de San Fermin. Every year a million revellers storm this normally sleepy Northern Spanish city for nine days and nine nights of non-stop mayhem, converting it into what has been called ‘the hell-raising capital of the world.’ Mark Eveleigh
