Spain’s running of the bulls

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.  

The iconic festival attracts tourists from all over the world, and the event often ends with a brutal goring. In 2009, a young Spaniard was killed. But this year only four people were reported injured, none of them seriously. 

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