Encierro. sf12. English

_PAMPLONA-IRUÑA, San Fermin 1999.

Thrilling encierro

Herd slipped, fell down and split into groups

It took the Jandilla bulls about 3 minutes to finish today’s running. The wet streets of Pamplona (it rained at night) provoked that the bulls fell down a number of times. As a result of the fallings the herd ran split into several groups.

In Santo Domingo the bull "Malicioso" slipped, fell down and ran the whole encierro alone.

The split herd and the smaller amount of people on the streets allowed experienced runners to enjoy today's encierro.

A thrilling situation happened at the bottom of Santo Domingo, where a the last bull, at high speed, charged at right and then at left. He gored nobody, though.
