After breakfast we head into town to get a good position for the huge opening ceremony today. At midday a rocket is fired from the balcony of the Town Hall which signals the start of the San Fermin festivities. Cava (local sparkling wine) is the order of the day – and you may also need a change of clothes after the cascade of sangria, flour, eggs and shaving cream that go hand in hand with the festivities!! The party continues all night, as the locals and visitors continue this huge street party all over town. (B)
