Spain celebrates the running of the bulls (PHOTOS)
A bullock runs in front of the crowd packed at the entrance of the bullring during the second run of the bulls of the San Fermin festival, on July 8, 2012, in the Northern Spanish city of Pamplona.
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.
