Pamplona Four Gored During Opening Weekend
No quarter for those in the way: Tens of thousands of visitors attend the running of the bulls in Pamplona every year. Many of them go home bloodied.
Even the bulls can slip on the cobblestones as the pack runs through the center of the town.
The festival -- held since 1591 -- has been a tourist magnet since Hemingway's book "The Sun Also Rises" was published in 1926.
The narrow streets of Pamplona often translate into difficulty getting away from the bulls.
The bulls charge through the streets of Pamplona every day for a week.
The fighting bulls in Pamplona come from the ranch of Dolores Aguirre. Here, they are struggling to make a sharp right turn in the city center.
Every year, people are injuring during the running of the bulls and 14 have been killed since 1924.
Many of the injuries occur as a result of the massive crowds that mob the San Fermin festival. Others, of course, come from the animals themselves.
Ouch.
