Each day at 8am hundreds of people race with six bulls, charging along a course stretching more than half a mile through narrow streets to the city’s bull ring, where the animals are killed in a bullfight or corrida. The festival dates back to medieval times and also features religious procession­s, folk dancing, concerts and round-the-clock drinking.

This year’s fourth race to the city’s bullring lasted two minutes, 15 seconds
