Chaos engulfs the northern Spanish city of Pamplona every July as thousands of visitors crowd the streets to take part in the San Fermin festivities. Spectators indulge in wine and sangria as Spaniards and tourists alike attempt to outrun some pretty hefty cattle. 

The festival, which lasts nine days, also includes bull fight spectacles and other wild activities.
