Clothes


  • Bring clothing for possible hot, cool or rainy weather.
  • Pamplona is 450m above sea level, nights are cool to cold while days are mild to very hot.
  • Due to broken glass on the streets closed shoes should be worn at all times when in town (i.e. don’t wear thongs/flip-flops, sandals, etc).

Respect the Tradition of Wearing White in Pamplona


A big part of attending Pamplona's San Fermin Festival is respecting the traditions of the festival, and in the process not looking like an ignorant or disrespectful tourist.

During the entire San Fermin festival every person wears white clothing & a red scarf whilst in town, every day & every night from 6-14 July inclusive.

All Fanatics travellers will receive their included white tour t-shirt & red scarf when they arrive. Cheap white trousers and shorts are available to purchase in town on our first evening, so there's no need to buy anything before you depart.

Travel Insurance


Travelling to Europe without travel insurance is a recipe for disaster - get it now! Whether it’s urgent medical assistance, replacing lost luggage, making an urgent trip home or cancelling your trip altogether, the costs can be astronomical. Note - physically running with the bulls is an extreme risk activity that will not usually be covered (you're fine if you're watching from the stands etc), however, your travel insurance will cover all the normal elements of your San Fermin Running of the Bulls tour.

For your own purposes, don't forget to bring along:

  • Travel insurance policy number & your insurer's emergency contact details.
  • List of personal emergency contact numbers.
  • Record of all personal items in case of loss & making an insurance claim (eg. passport number, flight info, proof of purchase receipts, etc). Leave one copy at home and bring one copy with you.
