The TuSanfermin Journal brings together cultural guides to San Fermín, Pamplona and Navarre. You will find explanations of the rituals, history, symbols, routes and moments of the festival, so you can prepare a more meaningful visit.
02Which article should I read first to understand San Fermín?+
A good starting point is the guide to the San Fermín Chupinazo, because it explains the official opening of the festival, the City Hall Square and the meaning of the red scarf. You can then continue with the San Fermín guide and Culture & Pamplona categories.

The stories are grouped by theme to make reading easier: San Fermín guide, Culture & Pamplona and Routes through Navarre. Each article has a specific purpose and links to related reading when it adds context.

The cultural articles explain traditions and their context. For schedules, programmes or changes in a specific year, we recommend always checking the official channels of Pamplona City Council before you travel.
