Can't make it for the opening or the closing weekend but don't want to miss out on the madness that is Pamplona? Good thing we've got our mid-week package then huh!

Day 1: San Sebastian
Check into your hostel anytime from 2pm. Tonight your guide will take you on an orientation walk of San Sebastian and arrange a general meet and greet at Zibbo's bar. You'll be issued with ID cards (essential for getting on-board the Pamps transfer coach!) and given a general overview of the trip and tantalise your travelling taste-buds with whats to come! Have a sangria on us, and try the local tapas - known as pintxos in the Basque country!
Day 2: San Seb - Pamplona
Super early morning transfer to Pamps so you can get your place trackside for the ‘encierro'. The run starts at 8am, but you need to claim your viewing space early. If interested in running, you need to present yourself to organisers at the start line one hour before the encierro.
We'll have regular shuttles running from the festival back to San Sebastian so the choice is yours when you head back (last shuttle will be at midnight). Tonight will be an all night party in Pamplona so stick around until the morning if you have the stamina...welcome to the madness that is San Fermin!
Day 3: San Seb - Pamplona
Another early morning shuttle to Pamplona for a chance to run with the bulls. You might want to participate, or this time watch from inside the bullring so you can view the shenanigans at the end of the race when the runners and bulls are in the ring together.
After the run we head back to San Sebastian to chill on the beach, before heading to Zibbibo bar for the Busabout/San Fermin end of tour party. A complimentary sangria and chupito (shot) is on offer so to get the party started
Day 4: San Seb
After breakfast your trip ends. Check out of your hostel by 11am. For those of you jumping back on our hop on hop off network, our next bus will be departing tomorrow (13th July) so make sure you book a bed in San Sebastian tonight through your MyTrip account.
