Showers of wine have been poured in Pamplona, Northern Spain, as thousands of people in red scarfs came to city plaza to celebrate the opening of the San Fermin festival. This celebration is famous for its fireworks shows, parties, parades and the running of the bulls, when hundreds of people run in front of six bulls down the narrow streets.

Thousands of tourists and residents in Spain sprayed each other with wine during the famous San Fermin bull-running festival. This is a street drinking party that lasts for 9 days. “Viva San Fermin!,” this traditional shout from the City Hall balcony started the festival. It was followed by the firecracker’s firing called the chupinazo.
