The meaning of "Pobre de mí” has a double meaning:
Grieving for the end of fiesta Sad state for the singer finding themselves after eight days of non-
stop partying
HOW MANY PARTICIPATE?
In 2011 Pamplona City Hall carried out a survey which tells us that
20.500 people in total took part in the running of the bulls this year
HELPFUL INFORMATION
How to behave: Any misdemeanors are punished, just as in any other place, with a night in the caboose, or a fine or whatever. Proof that things are never too unruly is that you will see many young children with their families strolling among all the hustle and bustle
Watch Out: You have to be very careful and keep an eye all the time, if you don't want to be badly injured; to run in front of bulls of 500 and 600 kgs of weight it's not a joke. Be sure that you will never feel the same sensation, but think twice before you run
Drinking:And during the fiestas don't get upset if someone steps on you, douses you with drink, bumps into you or when the barman serves you up the drink in a cheap plastic glass. That is all par for the course in the old part of town. Should you wish for something more neat and chic, then you'd better head out to some of the suburban districts like San Juan or Iturrama.
Survival Kit: Basic information not to get lost in the Fiesta
¿WHO IS SAN FERMÍN?
Seems he was the son of the local head man when Pamplona was just another city belonging to the
great Roman Empire back in the third century A.D. or thereabouts. A french Bishop -San Saturnino- came down to bring the Good News to the local
heathens. He did such a good job on San Fermín that this guy decided to go up to France - to Toulouse to
do some more learning and to become a bishop. Then he returned to help out with the good work that San Saturnino had started and then after a
period he went back up to France to spread the word around the area of Amiens.
HISTORY OF SAN FERMÍN
The origin of the fiesta of San Fermín goes back to the Middle Ages and is related to
three celebrations: religious ceremonies in honour of San Fermín, which intensified from
the 12th century onwards, trade fairs and bullfights, which were first documented in the 14th century. Initially, the fiesta San Fermín
was held on October 10th, but in 1591.
