The background to this Peña must be divided into two parts. Firstly, its origins in the 1930'a and its presence in the newly-expanding section of Pamplona at that time. Then came a second phase, when the Peña club was re-formed in the Milagrosa suburb during the Sanfermin "txiquito" of 1978. Originally the premises was in Estella Street and the members were from around this area. when the club moved to Guelbenzu Street the membership saw a sharp rise in numbers and the club became much more active. Some years ago they moved to their present premises in Manuel de Falla.

A book has been published which recounts the history of this Peña club. It was edited by Josu Noáin under the title "S.D.R. 7 de Julio San Fermin, historias en torno a la Peña". The book contains 260 pages and includes about a thousand photos, posters, pamphlets and stickers over its whole period in existence.

This Peña club is characterized by certain differences from most of the other Peñas. From the beginning there were ten women elected to its governing board. They dress in a smock of black and white checks. The Peña San Fermin also have numerous activities throughout the year. There is a group of Zampanzar dancers, an entourage of carnival giant heads. They also organize an annual trip to Jerez every month of March to look at some of the bull-breeding ranches which send bulls to the Sanfermin fiestas.
