Pamplona bullring pictures: the finish line and the vaquillas

Every bull run ends in Pamplona's bullring, where thousands of spectators wait in the stands from 6:00 am. Once the bulls are in their pens, young cows (vaquillas) are released one by one into the ring full of runners. These photos show the finish of the run, the atmosphere in the stands and the vaquillas session.

Tickets cost just a few euros: see where to watch the Running of the Bulls.
