A runner is gored by a bull during a bull run on the second day of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, northern Spain, Monday. Visitors to the nine-day festival, depicted in Ernest Hemingway’s 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 afternoon’s corrida. This is followed by processions of giant traditional figures, concerts, firebulls, fireworks, and large doses of eating, drinking, dancing and late nights. SD-Agencies
