Pamplona Running of the Bulls Route

A description of the route of the Pamplona running of the bulls.

See also: Map of the Running of the Bulls Route.

1. Cuesta de Santo Domingo
   The steep uphill start to the Pamplona running of the bulls. Up by the church is probably the best place to watch from (along with the bull ring at the end).

2. Plaza del Ayuntamiento to the Curva de Mercaderes
   Plenty of places of refuge and wide spaces here.

3. Calle Estafeta,
   A dangerous corner where the bulls always run wide.

4. Baja de Javier, Duque de Ahumada, Telefonica building
   The street narrows here and crowding can occur. Few places to hide. This late in the run, the bulls spread out. Though a bull is big and easy to spot, they're easier to spot when they're in a group!

5. Callejon
   A dangerous bottleneck. Though the animals are getting tired and are slowing, the humans are too, which can cause chaos.

6. Plaza de Toros
   The bulls are allowed to run amongst the runners for a period before being led away. Jump into the stands if it all becomes too much. It was here that Ray Ducharme was seriously injured in 2006.
