The festival of San Fermin is a deeply-rooted celebration held annually from 6 July to 14 July in the city of Pamplona (Navarre), in northern Spain. While its most famous event is the encierro, the running of the bulls, the week-long celebration involves many other traditional and folkloric events. It is known locally as Sanfermines and is held in honor of Saint Fermin, the patron saint of Pamplona and Navarre as a whole.

Sanfermines es una fiesta en honor a San Fermín que se celebra anualmente en la ciudad española de Pamplona. Los festejos comienzan con el lanzamiento del chupinazo (cohete) desde el balcón del ayuntamiento al mediodía del 6 de julio y terminan a las 24 del 14 de julio con el "Pobre de mí", una canción de despedida. Una de las actividades más famosas de los Sanfermines es el encierro, que consiste en una carrera de unos 800 m delante de los toros que culmina en la plaza de toros. Los encierros tienen lugar todos los días entre el 7 y el 14 de julio y comienzan a las ocho, con una duración promedio de entre dos y tres minutos. Los Sanfermines tienen un origen que se remonta varios siglos, aunque su fama mundial es un fenómeno reciente.
