Pamplona- home of the running of the chickens (el funcionamiento de los pollos)

Each year about 150-600 people run with the chickens. The run itself is about half a mile long through cobbled, narrow streets marked out by a tall, sturdy double-lined fence. The gap between the fences is strictly for police, medical teams and runners who need to make a quick escape. Spectators must stay outside the second fence where can be found a number of good vantagepoints along the route. The roosters can be found in a fowl mood and the run brings out more of the agressive nature of these wild and angry chickens.
