The most  famous of these events is the “Running of the Bulls”  that takes place during the festival of San Fermin in Pamplona. In the  seaside town of Denia in the province of Alicante, 600 km south of  Pamplona, a different type of bull running takes place — one that has  more to do with swimming than fighting. It is called Bous a la Mar —  literally, “bulls to the sea”. The ceremony begins with bulls chasing young boys down the Calle  Marques de Campo, the town's main boulevard, down to the specially  designed arena in the port. Three sides of the square arena are closed  off with iron bars just wide enough for humans to slide in and out of  the arena should the bull get too close. The fourth side opens out into  the harbor, with an approximately one-meter drop between the sanded  arena floor and the water.   One by one, the bulls are released  into the arena, and willing participants then tease the bulls and try to  get them into the water. The one who succeeds in making the bull fall  into the water is considered the winner. Bous a la Mar has been  held annually since at least 1926 as part of the festival of Santisima  Sangre, or "holy blood," which commemorates a monk named Pedro Esteve  who is said to have saved the town from plague in 1633. The festival  takes place during the second week of July, around the same time San  Fermin takes place. <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U36eJ0Fdyxw/VZVbmemUWKI/AAAAAAABDzk/kHSqm_YAVeU/bous-a-la-mar-12%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R6zi5ENPzOc/VZVbpKgH0AI/AAAAAAABDzs/aaujIlr-kNg/bous-a-la-mar-2%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bHMteGK0rHk/VZVbqXK_iJI/AAAAAAABDz0/ZRAeHRmRxlg/bous-a-la-mar-5%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zv_OrAK6Tek/VZVbsCSxTmI/AAAAAAABDz8/ouE7yLERRGg/bous-a-la-mar-9%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Wus9H99A1ug/VZVbttJJtLI/AAAAAAABD0E/8DGslaguQ7E/bous-a-la-mar-10%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zLGbq9ZJOD8/VZVbvVuMvHI/AAAAAAABD0M/J5U4XwsFP3A/bous-a-la-mar-11%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3JBKr41JX20/VZVbxPSUANI/AAAAAAABD0U/XvNF4Mjgl3I/bous-a-la-mar-13%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QsL7cer5O3E/VZVbyglIK2I/AAAAAAABD0c/3sPSw2-ymxk/bous-a-la-mar-14%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IQy1RqkXT2U/VZVb0UdQB4I/AAAAAAABD0k/NZ0IvIj3p1k/bous-a-la-mar-4%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YsAcTPKVGdk/VZVb1_L1dAI/AAAAAAABD0s/9ESuJ-13ezo/bous-a-la-mar-7%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wmimhX1KE3U/VZVb3GQJ4jI/AAAAAAABD00/p_Fr6l8tnok/bous-a-la-mar-6%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hoV2zjPJMx0/VZVb4rrtNgI/AAAAAAABD08/QSt-DzCwc-g/bous-a-la-mar-0%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
