Like any well-made TV series, it has some memorable lines and scenes. The mechanism of these “Homemade Sanfermines” consist in running between some roadwork fencing and being chased by a “bull” on a bicycle wheel. In the storyline, the trial is successfully completed but when they are ready for the real thing, they set off a rocket to start things and it is then that Lola appears on a quad with a set of stag’s horns on the front. The thing gets out of control and the Swiss man ends up wounded. The web site of this series highlight the Sanfermin aspect with a title “San Fermines locos en el camping“. Some of the best lines are familiar to regular Sanfermin bullrunning fans “The most important thing in the running of the Bulls is to warm up beforehand”, “In the bullrunning, three things are essential: a rolled-up newspaper in the hand and a pair of balls”, “In Pamplona, they call me The Kamikaze of Estafeta Street”.
