Sanfermines 2024

The Comparsa de Gigantes y Cabezudos de Pamplona is one of the great symbols of the sanfermines, consisting of 25 figures (8 giants, 5 heads, 6 tickles and 6 poles), one of the traditions most loved by the Pamplonese.

Thanks to the weather and good humour, a crowd of people have gathered in the Old Town. The Pamplonese have gathered together with fried eggs, txistorra, tortilla, ham and, of course, drinks such as kalimotxo or sangria.

Representatives of the Yala Nafarroa platform with Palestine have chanted "Stop genocide" and "Free Palestine" during the Sanfermines blow, breaking protocol, an act that has provoked a reaction from political representatives.

Local police officers have been forced to intervene because a large group of young people were attempting to forcibly enter the Town Hall Square by breaking the police cord and closing access. The arrested person has been charged with public disorder and an attack on police officers .

The Gurekin Services Association has launched this year's txupinazo, in the words of the City Council, "to thank the small shops and services for their contribution throughout the year." The Lesaka sanfermines will last until July 12. 

In memory of Palestine, representatives of Yala Navarra fired the rocket with the kufiyas around their necks. At 12:01, the rocket exploded in the air of Pamplona with the cry of Palestine's freedom, and with it the party exploded.

Kostata baina txupina bota du aurten Palestinaren aldeko Yala Nafarroa plataformak. 2025eko sanferminak uztailaren 14ra arte luzatuko dira, tradizioz, musikaz eta kulturaz betetako egitarau zabala eskainita. 

There are only a few hours left before the sanfermines, and in Pamplona they have everything ready to start the parties. Yala Nafarroa, the association with Palestine, will be in charge of launching the txupin this year.

There are only two days left before the first confinement of the sanfermines, so dozens of people have gathered in front of the Town Hall of Pamplona to demand the end of the lock-ups, where representatives of Anima Naturalis and PETA have performed an artistic performance at 11:00 in the morning.

The mayor of Pamplona/Iruña, Joseba Asiron, spoke on the eve of the txupinazo that will start the sanfermines about this year's "popular, accessible and inclusive parties" that they have prepared.

When the visitors arrive, a lot of citizens are working hard to get everything ready to dive into the party. Hostelers, shopkeepers, hostelers, security personnel, municipal brigades.

July 7th lock-up, live at Now, from 7:45.

It will be operational from 5 to 14 July, from 11:30 to 15:00 and from 18:00 to midnight, as a point of information, awareness and prevention of sexual assault, as well as a reference point for active listening and reporting.

A few hours before the txupinazo begins the San Fermín festivities, many Pamplonese are shopping for the latest items. Many others have taken advantage of the heat of these days to wash and dry their clothes. 

More than 1,000 items have been confiscated at Noain airport, including 500 fans and 500 caps, allegedly for illegal sale in sanfermines.

Seeing enclosures from a balcony is an opportunity that has become a business. It's fashionable and more and more demanded.

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.

In yesterday's vote, the majority of the workers supported the maintenance of the strike by rejecting the latest proposal put on the table by the company  TCC. The unions have shown their willingness to continue negotiating, but the company has said that it will not sit down to talk while unemployment is under way.
