I also went to Pamplona, but not during one of the times that they have the running of the bulls. I found Pamplona t be a lot different than what I was expecting. I thought of it as a kind of rough place. But its people were amazingly gracious and actually a bit formal and "just so." It was one of those "just wow" kinds of city. Just don't try to visit during the two times when they run the bulls...people pay huge amounts of money for the privilege of attending it and it's crazy.

You will be knocked out by the wine and food, too.
