Txupinazo in Iruñea

The Txupinazo kicked of the Sanfermines today.

Here you have some revellers that hold up red scarves and an Ikurriña (the Basque flag) as they celebrate the San Fermin festival in the town hall square in Iruñea. A pack of six fighting bulls run through the centre of the town to the bull ring every morning during the week long festival made famous by US writer Ernest Hemingway.

Just in case you are confused Iruñea is the Basque name of the city known as Pamplona.
