San Fermin: for the experiences seeker
San Fermin is the red-and-white fiesta for the adventurous and authentic experiences seeker.
The Running of the Bulls Festival is one of a kind event that takes place in Pamplona every July. An army of locals dressed in white with red neckerchiefs will welcome you to one of the wildest festivals on earth: the running of the bulls through the narrow streets of the old town. Watching this show (or actually running in front of the bulls!) is on every traveler’s bucket list, that’s why the city is packed with people from around the world, creating a vibrant atmosphere that lasts for days.
Let Paladar y Tomar host you in a unique lifetime experience and don’t miss the essence.

Day 1
PAMPLONA, ARRIVAL
Arrival in Pamplona by train from Madrid or Barcelona, or by private transfer from San Sebastian. Check-in at the hotel.
Dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant if you are looking for a fine dining experience or we can suggest some of the traditional tables in Pamplona.
Start savoring Navarra.
Day 2
THE RUNNING OF THE BULLS FROM A PRIVATE BALCONY
Meet your host at 6 am – not later since streets access is cut very early – to get ready to watch the encierro or running of the bulls from one of the privileged balconies. A well welcome comfort breakfast will be served. Previously, get a preview of the warming up area at the back of Santo Domingo street, you'll get to know the entire circuit and the rules for participants.
When the encierro is over, it's time for some churros those fritters that will probably drive you crazy. Go to the bullpens to learn more about the bulls running, and feel Pamplona's excitement as one more.
Spend the day on your own or lunch at a txoko. The daily fireworks show is at 11 pm.
Day 3
PAMPLONA
Party can be overwhelming, we propose a private-guided city tour of Pamplona, the capital of the Kingdom of Navarra (now, just known as Navarra), brought to the international spotlight in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. One of the highlights of this day is a guided visit of the Cathedral of Royal Saint Mary, with its temple, bell tower (with the second-largest church bell in Spain), cloister and fascinating Diocesan Museum.
CORRIDA (OPTIONAL)
If you wish to attend some bull fighting to live first hand one of the main attractions of San Fermin, we can handle VIP access.
Our guests never feel foreigners, our goal is that you immerse in the local culture and feel like anyone else. We want you to feel the vibe and excitement every local feels in San Fermin.
Day 4
END OF JOURNEY
Today, private transfer to the train station, or to your next destination if you decided to extend your journey.

Thank you so much for this helpful list! Gary and I are still talking about what a great time we had on the trip to Spain and how much we enjoyed meeting you, Fernando and Felix. You did an amazing job and we so appreciated seeing Spain's beautiful cities, historical treasures and of course the wonderful food, wine and people!
Gary and I wanted to thank you again for your continued care and concern as we spent three additional days in Madrid with the Millars. You and Fernando were so nice to make sure all went well and to see us off when we finally had to depart.
We are wishing you all the best and a wonderful holiday season ahead,

We had a winderful time particularly thanks to your superb arrangements. We will return! Arrivederci Marco
All the private excursions that she arranged were excellent. At some point during every tour our guide received a message from our agent checking in on how everything was going. We felt very well taken care of during our honeymoon and very thankful for all the assistance Valeska provided in making this dream vacation come true.
