In Plaza de la Compañía, 48,350 people have gathered during the holidays, and the Sound Fermín cycle in Plaza de los Fueros has brought together 61,000 people.
One of the main innovations of this year has been the increase in the number of screens to follow the Txupinazo, which has made it possible to speed up traffic in the centre and to add new areas such as the squares of Yamaguchi and Chantrea, where more than 3,000 people gathered.
Inthe area of health and consumption, the Food Inspection Service of Pamplona City Council has carried out 83 activities and detected 137 deficiencies, in addition to the seizure of 30 kilograms of food in poor hygienic and sanitary conditions, which has led to the closure of the shop.
