The Running of the Bulls route, in pictures

The bull run covers roughly 850 metres of the Old Town. These photos follow the course in order, from the Santo Domingo corrals where the bulls spend the night, up the steep slope, across the Town Hall square, along Mercaderes and Calle Estafeta, to the narrow passage that leads into the bullring.

For what happens on each stretch, read the route, section by section.
