I expected to see a picture of Pilgrims with packs on walking through the white and red herds heading out of town. :?

That is going to be one sore Pilgrim on his way out of Pamplona tomorrow. :shock:
Looks like he lost his pack, too.

Wow, that looks exciting and scary. How does one walk through Pamplona while the running of the bulls is on? Is the route diverted to avoid the bulls? How about accommodation? We will be walking through Pamplona around that time next year and I am wondering about the logistics. Cheers, Gitti

The Camino crosses the route for the running, so it is blocked before and during the bull run.

The rooms in Pamplona are booked several years in advance, and the rates increase five to ten times normal. The big albergue there, Jesus y Maria, is closed. Casa Paderborn is open. Cizur Menor fills early, and the albergues before Pamplona also fill early with pilgrims who know Pamplona is jammed.

Figure out your strategy early; pass through Pamplona well before 8 a.m., or after 8:30 a.m. to avoid the closings. There are parades some days, so the Camino can be blocked or simply impassable because of the crowds.

Look here under Programme for the daily schedule next year. It is usually posted a month or so in advance:

The festival is July 7-14 regardless of which day of the week July 7 is. The encierro is daily at 8 a.m. from July 8 to July 13.

You are a mine of information Falcon, thank you so much, Gitti

Correct me if I'm wrong but 'Jesus Y Maria' is indeed closed during early July because of the San Fermin festival, it is also closed in December and January. As far as I know it is still open the rest of the year and I don't think you necessarily have to book it before hand. It could be just wishful thinking on my part though, I'm setting off on my camino in September and was hoping to bed down at this albergue...
