Day 1: Check into Campsite
Your tent is already pitched so just drop off your bags and head to the bar to meet up with the group for a few drinks to warm up for the festivities ahead.
Day 2: San Sebastian
After breakfast we will head to the coastal town of San Sebastian. You will get a chance to swim, shop drink eat and enjoy this beautiful Basque town. Be sure to take the 30 minute up to Monte Urgull, a hill topped by low castle wall and a statue of Christ. The walk begins at the stairway in Plaza Zuloaga and is well worth it for the amazing views. We will return to the campsite ready to join in the party with the rest of the festival travellers.
Day 3: Pamplona
After breakfast take the shuttle to Pamps. Once there your guide will give you a quick orientation before the Opening festival at noon.
Day 4: Pamplona
A very early breakfast before the shuttle from the campsite to Pamps. The first Bull Run is at 8am and the afternoon is yours to spend how you like. Explore the city centre and take in the festival atmosphere or head back to the campsite to party at the bar/club for the evening.
Day 5: Pamplona
Up early for the second Bull Run! After the run the rest of the morning is yours again to spend how you wish. Check out Pamplona or head back to the campsite to chill out. This is your last night to be spent partying at the campsite.
Day 6: Last Day
It's your last early breakfast and shuttle from the campsite to Pamps. You have two options today :
Option 1 - if you're hopping back on the Busabout Explorer network then you can catch the coach to San Sebastian where you can link up with the coach that continues on to Bordeaux, Tours and Paris.
Option 2 – head to the 3rd Bull Run at 8am and catch the bus back to the campsite ready to check out at noon.
