Hello! This morning I have go to watch the finish part of the "encierro" to the "Plaza de Toros" (Bull´s Square). I´ve enjoyed it a lot but I did not like so much the heifers (I feared they harmed the people in there).
This "encierro" has been really fast, the faster one of all the Sanfermines and also the most dangerous one, probably. There haven´t been horned people but there are lots of them have knocks.
In the Bull´s Square I enjoyed the moments before the "encierro" because people played music and things like that... During the "encierro" we all have said "¡Uyy!" and "¡Ehh!", depending on what happened during it to the people running it. When the bulls have arrived to the Square they have entered cleanly to the corral.
It´s been really exiting. The heirs have knock lots of people during their "act" and nineteen people have been harmed. Nine with contusions, five that are unconscious and another young men that is at the Hospital with a very serious contusion.
Some people, like a young men has provoke the heirs lots of times and he has throw them sand. The people watching him has jeer at him.
But there has been a man that has fight pretty good a heir lot´s of times with his black loose shirt, congratulations to him!
The "encierro" has been leaded by the bull "Resistón", a really dangerous one, from the cattle of "El Pilar".
I leave you some photographs and some videos, I hope you enjoy them:
·The docile bulls arriving to the square.
·The people on the square, dispersed.
·The runners, waiting at the door for a heir to go out.
·The runner on the square.
·Some musicians playing good music.
·The musicians turning around all the square.
·A heir trying to hit a person in both photographs (up and down).
Here I leave you two videos, this one is of the "encierro":
