Running of the Bulls in San Miguel Mexico
This is Mexico’s version of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Outside of Mexico City, 20,000 people come for the exuberant party, Pamplonada, which is centred on the wild Running of the Bulls in San Miguel Mexico. Book Mexico condos now and get in on all the action.
The weekend after Independence Day in Mexico (15 Sep) and before San Miguel el Arcangel (29 Sep) is the time of one of Mexico’s biggest and most fun celebrations and one of the best times to rent Mexico condos. The Running of the Bulls in San Miguel Mexico, affectionately dubbed Pamplonada, is modelled after the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Though this event in Mexico might lack some of Pamplona’s historical roots, it makes up for it tenfold in atmosphere.
Pamplonada & Mexico condos
People travel from all around, especially nearby Mexico City to witness, and sometimes put their lives on the line during this extreme event. It all kicks off the night before when bars, restaurants and clubs are bursting with people excited for the following day’s carousing. Become one of the masses when you book Mexico vacation rentals or Mexico condos for Running of the Bulls in San Miguel Mexico.
The big night out before the event unfortunately means that when the people turn up to El Jardin, the centre plaza, they are often sporting a dizzying hangover. The bulls arrive at noon. No ordinary bulls, these are bred specifically for strength, and aggression is one of their trademark qualities.
Running of the Bulls
The participants jump the barriers as the bulls are released and the chaos ensues! The entire country watches Pamplonada on live TV, this spectacle where people scramble to get away and others, either brave or crazy, rush the bulls to grab their mighty horns. Injury is common, but yet the event remains a massively popular one throughout the country.
Running of the Bulls in San Miguel Mexico is one of those very special events around the world that you must simply experience at least once, and where better to do it than from restful Mexico condos?
