Where should I stand to see the Pamplona Running of the Bulls?

By , About.com Guide

Question: Where should I stand to see the Pamplona Running of the Bulls?
Answer: The bull run is 825m long (2750 feet) but the most action is at the Cuesta de Santa Domingo - which is where the run begins - and at the bull ring (where everything finishes).

The difference between getting nearly the best vantage point at the Cuesta de Santa Domingo and the very best place to watch from is about three-and-a-half hours: when we arrived at 3am all the spots by the railings were filling up, but even as late as 6.30am the crowd was still only one or two deep.

Is it worth the extra three hours? Well, you've come all this way, would it have been worth coming at all if you have to stand on tip-toes and miss some of the action?

Take a look at this picture of where I stood at the Pamplona Running of the Bulls then browse the rest of the pictures to see how great a vantage point I had.
