During the Pamplona bullfight, young men in particular risk their health and sometimes their lives. Despite protests from animal rights activists, the "Sanfermines" festival attracts millions of people every year. Around 6,000 bulls are said to have died in the arena over the past 100 years. Since 1911, a total of 16 deaths have been linked to the Pamplona bull runs and fights.

The centre of the ''Plaza do Castillo'' has been occupied since 28 June 1943 by an 18-metre-high bandstand raised on a stepped drum and whose dome is supported by Ionic columns. Previously, there was a wooden one that replaced the Beneficencia fountain in 1910, the work of Luis Paret, known in Pamplona as "La Mariblanca", which currently adorns the city's Taconera gardens.

The Plaza de toros de Pamplona is a bullring located in Pamplona and is used for bullfights, but also for sporting and cultural events and concerts. Built in 1922, the plaza de toros can accommodate up to 19,721 people and is the second largest in Spain, after Las Ventas in Madrid, and the fifth largest in the world. The plaza de toros is the finishing point of the famous running of the bulls that takes place in Pamplona during the San Fermin festival and, during the Spanish Civil War, it was used as a concentration camp by Franco's troops with a capacity for 3,000 Republican prisoners.

Beautifully restored city gate through which all Santiago de Compostela walkers pass. Even the mechanism to open and close the gate is still there (with counterweights).

An almost authentic pilgrimage on the Frances, because this is where streams of pilgrims came to the city in the Middle Ages. One of the impressive walls of the fortified city and here you can also see the silver Bicigrino symbols embedded in the ground that lead to the exit: a great feature!
