The spectacle of the first cow, with cuts, falls, and somersaults. A landlady from number 3 drops his cell phone. Someone can't stand up due to nerves. A brave man makes a beautiful cut. Another young man does what he shouldn't have done by tailing the cow: shouting "Idiot, Idiot!" the other workers expel him and the police take him into custody. Report: Rosario Pérez

And the festivities don't stop during San Fermín, and tomorrow, for the second day, there's a highlight: Cebada Gago, one of the so-called tough cattle ranches that delights the young men.

Everything is taking shape. The police are in place, the Red Cross personnel, the shepherds are at their posts, and the most experienced runners are calming their nerves in moments of concentration. Report: Ángel Abad

The bulls wait in the Santo Domingo corrals, standing, as if they know that those gates will soon open.

Reports: Mari Carmen Parra

Only 10 minutes left and the first running of the bulls of the San Fermin festival in 2025 will be a reality.

If we had to put a sign on the balconies of the old town, we would say 'sold out', because they are full of people already counting down the minutes until they see the Fuente Ymbro bulls pass through the streets of the route.

Reports: Mari Carmen Parra

In the stands, to the beat of Maestro Bravo's band, the traditional "A San Fermín pide" (We ask for San Fermín) has just been sung for the first time. Report: Rosario Pérez.

Gallardo was the first to put covers on the horns to prevent injury: "I did it out of necessity, and many ranchers followed suit." He recalls in ABC that the first to build the bullfighting arena was Juan Pedro Domecq, "but I was the first to move them with a full turn, although I made a mistake on the slope with 500 kilos on top of me."

Reports: Rosario Pérez

You have to be a real athlete to run in front of a bull, so you have to warm up like a good athlete to get your muscles ready and avoid any kind of injury during the bull run.

Greetings between the waiters and conversations to calm the nerves of the race.

Reports by Mari Carmen Parra

Starting at 7:30 a.m., the local police conduct the first sweep to clear the running of the bulls. Thousands of people are pushed toward the entrance to the bullring. This way, they achieve their goal of entering the bullring, not running in front of the bulls.

Reports by Ángel González

The stands are singing "Don't leave Navarre," a true anthem here. Rosario Pérez reports.

The Fuente Ymbro ranch, owned by Ricardo Gallardo, a passionate bullfighter, was established in 1996 with cows and bulls from Jandilla. It is green, bears a spearhead mark on both ears, and grazes in San José del Valle (Cádiz). The bulls that run the 800 meters today are branded with an omega mark, a G inside, and a cross at the top.

Reports: Rosario Pérez

The team of shepherds, the highest authority of the bull run, enter the route directly to their respective positions.

Reports by Mari Carmen Parra

The colleagues of José Aldaba, head of communications for the Red Cross in Navarre, paid a moving tribute. José Aldaba, who always provided the first medical report, passed away last February.

Reports by Mari Carmen Parra

The officers begin to organize the respective sections so that only the runners remain and are in their respective positions.

Reports by Mari Carmen Parra

In the bull runs held on the patron saint's day, there have historically been no gorings. The San Fermín bullfighter's cape has always been in the spotlight, even in serious situations such as the pile-ups that occurred on this day at the entrance to the bullring. In 1953, the most spectacular bullfight was held by bulls from Salvador Guardiola. Doctors had to treat hundreds of people with fractures, bruises, and symptoms of asphyxiation.

Reports: Ángel González

The streets are full of life, as are the balconies. Everyone is now dressed in white with their traditional red scarves to watch the Fuente Ymbro, the breed that ran the fastest time last year: 2:18. Let's see what happens today!

This morning it drizzled and the weather is now cool, not exceeding 20 degrees.

Reports by Mari Carmen Parra

Today is San Fermín, a big day in Pamplona, ​​a holiday, which means no one will want to miss the first running of the bulls.

In the bull runs held on the patron saint's day, there have historically been no gorings. The San Fermín bullfighter's cape has always been in the spotlight, even in serious situations such as the pile-ups that occurred on this day at the entrance to the bullring. In 1953, the most spectacular bullfight was held by bulls from Salvador Guardiola. Doctors had to treat hundreds of people with fractures, bruises, and symptoms of asphyxiation.

The running of the bulls originated and has its raison d'être in the afternoon bullfight. Without the bullfight in the bullring, there would be no running of the bulls. It is simply the transfer of the bulls to be fought from the corrals to the bullring. This was the practice in Pamplona since time immemorial until 1876, when the City Council officially declared the running of the bulls. In 1922, with the inauguration of the new bullring, the bulls covered the 849-meter route we know today.

Good morning! The first running of the bulls of the San Fermin festival begins today with bulls from Fuente Ymbro, a ranch that has been a regular in Pamplona for twenty years and has produced fast and clean runs. The Fuente Ymbro bulls, from Jandilla, will be fought in the afternoon by Miguel Ángel Perera, Alejandro Talavante, and Daniel Luque.
