Day 10 - The Running of the Bulls

July 7th, 2025

Today was one of the most unforgettable days of the program! We started bright and early, leaving at 4 a.m. to head to Pamplona for the world-famous San Fermín Festival and the iconic Running of the Bulls. The energy in the city was electric. Crowds dressed in white and red filled the streets, music played from every corner, and the anticipation before the run was unreal. Watching the event unfold in person was such a powerful experience. It was truly thrilling, intense, and deeply rooted in tradition. After the run, we joined in on the celebrations by heading into town and watching the parade. Students soaked in the festive spirit and truly got a taste of Spanish culture at its most vibrant. 

In the afternoon, we continued on to Madrid, excited to begin the next chapter of our adventure. We ended the day with a group dinner featuring traditional Spanish dishes, sharing stories from the day and getting excited for the week ahead in Spain’s incredible capital city.
