For eight days, the city will be awash in a sea of red and white, filled with music, parades, and fireworks.

The highlight, the daily bull runs, commence on July 7, attracting thrill-seekers from around the world.

Visitors can witness this spectacle from various vantage points or even participate in the run itself.
