San Fermin? better with a Free Tour

I guess most of you are familiar with the festivals taking place every July in my hometown, San Fermin.  Probably a bunch of you guys have even experienced the craziness in which the city plunges during this wonderful days. However, my friend and I are part of those people who love to enjoy all dimensions of the festivals (the parades, the traditions, the party, the running of the bulls, the fireworks, the people...).

We believe that people who come to the city looking for this world famous event should not limit themselves to the night life. There is much more to it than just that! So with this in mind, we started two years ago with an initiative that we really enjoy. It is about sharing our love for the city with others and trying to make their stay a little bit more fulfilling.

Easy thought, easy made. We prepared the route we wanted to walk and reviewed the history of the city. The next was just printing some flyers and spreading the word around the various hostels, campings and hotels in the city. The aim of the tour is to briefly explain the history of the main attractions in town at the same time that we get the audience involved in the traditions of the festivals. Besides, some of the tips we give them so they can enjoy it to the fullest are of incalculable value.

So you know, if you are around the city on the days prior to San Fermin, that is, from July the 2nd until the 5th or so, come join us! and remember, it's free!

We even got some media coverage in a local newspaper! So you think you know San Fermines?
