Spain's annual running of the bulls began over the weekend, when thousands of brave or just plain crazy thrill-seekers sprinted with six fighting bulls through the narrow streets of Pamplona.

"It was amazing, phenomenal and scary, all at the same time," William Schulz, 34, a bartender from Nashville, Tennessee, told Al Jazeera.
