In pictures: Spain's Pamplona bull run
- Published
The annual bull run has opened in the cobbled streets of Pamplona, Spain - a festival made famous by Ernest Hemingway in his novel The Sun Also Rises.
Serious partying: These sleeping revellers are among thousands - many of them foreigners - attending the week-long San Fermin festival.
Daredevil runners risk injury as they dash through the streets ahead of the bulls - the winding course is covered in just over two minutes.
Paramedics give first aid to a runner. At least four people were admitted to hospital on Monday, without life-threatening injuries.
A fighting calf is cornered inside the bullring. Critics say the festival is cruel because bulls are killed for entertainment during the week.
Runners charge into the bullring between the bulls - many say they are scared but exhilarated by the experience.
