Description: During the fourth encierro, toros bravos from the Dolores Aguirre ranch rounding the corner of Estafeta heading to the Plaza De Toros.

Description: Toros from the Dolores Aguirre ranch taking part in the 4th encierro. This guy was lucky. Here is was running directly for the vallados on the corner of Estafeta (hamburger corner, deadman’s corner, la curva, etc) which is not the best thing to do. At the last moment he did the smart thing and turned, thus saving his ass, and his medical insurance cover. The guy on the right background trying to touch the bull is doing the wrong thing – his body is turned directly towards the bull, reaching out to touch the bull. One swift flick of his head, and the guy is gored.

Description: Typical street scene during fiesta. I’m certain it was Rod Stewart and his brother…

Description: The 2nd toro from the famousMiura stable, from Cadíz during the corrida with Rafaelillo.

Description: Every day the “faces of TVE” (Television de España) throw shapes and generally get seen by the public. Here one of the TV presenters (I don’t watch enough Spanish TV to know her name) sits all thoughtfully.

Description: I have never seen someone being more detailed, and expressive about bullrunning than Jose. For someone who cannot talk, he describes an encierro better than anyone.

Description: The 4th encierro, held on the 10th of July. Today the bulls were from Dolores Aguirre, you can see the full encierro here, in “INTERACTIVE!” on RTVE’s website.

The encierro is alot of fun, thats for sure. But an encierro with rasher sang-iches as a prize? Only the Irish can do it with that much style. I liked the guy with the boina at the start.
