Review & FAQ:

Rafael Huerta of Bilboa created the sculpture that captures a moment of tension and anguish during the Bull Run of Pamplona. It is located in the Avenidas Roncesvalles, with the action heading for the bullring. It is made out of cast bronze and is 11m by 4m. Eleven men, six fighting bulls and three oxen depict the speed and chaos of the 825 m run which typically lasts 3-4 minutes. It is the main event of the annual San Fermin festival, where brave young men pit their wits against the power of the bulls in the open streets of Pamplona, en route to the bullring.
