Now in Spain: Running of the Bulls

You may be sitting at your desk reading this, but in Spain right now, they're going loco for the toros.

PAMPLONA, Spain – It's the time again: The annual San Fermin festival, which runs from July 6-14 in Pamplona, Spain. It's a celebration of food and music and dance, with processions and fireworks. But they're not trying to fool anyone: The main event is the Running of the Bulls. And this year, as every year, swarms of Spaniards — and even more alcohol-fueled tourists — show up to try to outsmart and outrun the bulls on a race through the streets. Every day. It's a madhouse. Here's what you're missing.
