Pamplona running of the bulls 
Lying within the rolling green hills of the Basque countryside in Northern Spain is Pamplona. The sleepy capital of the Navarra region explodes from a modest population of 180,000 to over 500,000 during Spain's most notorious Festival - San Fermin, more commonly known as 'the running of the bulls'.

Las Fallas
Steeped in traditions around celebrations for the patron saint of the villiage, back in the day rag dolls were strung up and ninots (figurines) were put on platforms around the city, supposedly to represent people or occasions that were criticized, and then burnt in a big bonfire. This, more or less, is the way it happens now but on a much larger scale!
