  • SPAIN. Navarre. 2005. Pamplona. Just before the start of the event, the runners who have chosen to make their run at the first stretch on the slope of Santo Domingo, chant a homily to the image of San Fermín, patron of the fiestas, a figure located in a niche on the wall. The words go “A San Fermín pedimos, por ser nuestro patrón, nos guíe en el encierro dándonos su bendición.” (‘We beseech San Fermin to guide us in this run and to give us his blessing’). The piece is also sung in Basque. At exactly 8.00 a.m. a rocket is set off to announce the opening of the bullpens and the start of the bullrun.

  • SPAIN. Navarre. 2005. Pamplona. The bullrunning course crosses several narrow streets of the old quarter of Pamplona. It starts from the slope of Santo Domingo street and finishes inside the arena in the bullring. The total distance covered is 875 meters. Although this is a relatively short distance, it is impossible for a runner to cover the whole course. Several factors make it so; the distance, the presence of so many other runners and, above all, the enormous speed of the bulls. The whole length of the course is completely fenced in which makes it almost impossible for any bulls to escape from the course.

  • SPAIN. Donostia. 2005. San Sebastian. Kursaal building. The author of this singular work, the prestigious architect Rafael Moneo, designed two cubes made of translucent glass as if they were “two beached rocks”, with the aim of “perpetuating the geography and , as far as it was possible, emphasizing the harmony between the natural and the artificial.” The building has been awarded with the Contemporary Architecture Prize Mies van der Rohe, the most important of those awarded in Europe, due to “the exceptional character” of the project and its “conceptual, aesthetic, technical and constructive innovation.”The Kursaal is the result of an ambitious project to equip Sebastian and Gipuzkoa with a modern and innovative infrastructure to house congresses and cultural events.
