All is Fiesta!!

In each country, in each village, Fiesta is celebrated of different ways. Here, in Spain, we wouldn't understand "Fiesta" without bulls. In each part of the country, Bulls are the centre of all celebration. In some parts, people drive bulls towards the city centre with horses, in other places, bulls are closed in a small square and people are playing with them.....
But the most popular Fiesta is celebrated in Pamplona. Each year, a lot of people from different countries arrived in Pamplona to enjoy some days where all freedom is allowed. Foreigners join the pamplona's citizens to celebrate what is called the most international Fiesta.
Alcohol runs and everybody likes to drink, because is a part of the madness for 9 days. Every day ( from 7 to 14 of July, at 8:00 am, ) bulls are managed by people to the Bullsring. A race full of danger where everybody likes to participate and touch the danger. Each time there are more people running. They want a picture with the bulls running on the street.
Amazing picture. Danger and fun together. Being the focus of the picture. Showing the picture to the rest of the world. ........ It was just a moment. The photographer took the picture in a moment where the danger was a reality. Nothing happened. It was, as I told before, just a moment. Danger and fun. The blond man, looks like if he were enjoying of that moment, but probably he was suffering. But he has a souvenir of these days of Fiesta. Where all is allowed. Ernest Hemingway wrote about this Fiesta and everybody wants to life what he wrote in his book : FIESTA.
There are a lot of responsible people running or managing bulls towards the Bullsring. They are very serious, and they hate this kind of people that runs with alcohol's effects. It's a public Fiesta and everybody can take part of it. All is Fiesta!

    (1) I like this expression, "Alchohol runs". You could also say "Alchohol flows".
    (2) better: under the effects of alcohol

    An blog entry on the fiesta in Pamplona has become an annual tradition! It certainly makes for great photographs.
