Of having a whale of a time! Because in addition to the wonderful terror that is the bull run, this festival is so much more! It is one of the world's biggest street parties - day and night you can drink and dance and smooch in the streets. And there are cultural events every day, so you can do something nice and really justify going on a massive rip during the night. Truly wonderful. And we haven't even mentioned Stoke Travel's Bull Bite Base Camp. This is where your dreams come to fruity fruition. The 2nd biggest party in the region this time of year (the biggest being the world's 3rd biggest street party, in Pamplona town, of course). Meet hundreds of new besties, and make sure you set yourself up with a hangover for the next morning - because that is when you'll be facing the bulls... How you gettin' there cow lovers? Why not take one of Stoke Travel's own buses? We roll in from Barcelona, Madrid and Paris, man. One way trips and full weekend packages available, check it out. Why not combine the cow festival with a music festival. BBK Bilbao Live truly rocks my friends (apart from Coldplay last year, soz Coldplay lovers) and is timed to coincide with the opening day of the Running of the Bulls. Talk about convenient! Thanks universe... Once the running is done spend a night or sixteen at our San Sebastian Surf Camp. It is literally down the road, check out the detailos here amigos. The land of big, angry, bulls and all night street parties. We camp an hour away from the city centre, by the beach, because a dip in the sea is the best way to soothe those petrified bones of yours... You want to fly to either Bilbao, or Biarritz. Check Ryanair, Easyjet and Vueling for cheap deals. There's plenty of cheap deals. We love cheap deals. If you fly to Bilbao you can get a bus directly from the airport to Zarautz, buses leave from the front of the airport at 7am, 11:30am, 3:30pm and 8:30pm If you land outside of these times there is an hourly bus to San Sebastian city centre. Once there the local bus to Zarautz leaves from the street outside very same bus station. And the local train that connects San Sebastian to Zarautz is right there too! Follow the "by bus" or "by train" details outlined below. You can catch the Spanish national railway from most cities to San Sebastian. Check www.renfe.com for details. Once in San Sebastian, as the national (or big) train station is in the middle of town, you want to catch the local bus to Zarautz, which is outlined below. If you arrive in San Sebastian by bus from Bilbao airport, or by local train via Hendaye from Biarritz, the Euskotren is the way to go (see maps for directions). Trains run from San Sebastian (Amara) to Zarautz (San Pelaio) from the early morning until about 10pm. The trip costs 2 euros and takes 30 minutes. You can arrive to San Sebastian by bus from all over Europe and within Spain. Eurolines deal with international bookings (www.eurolines.com) and Vibasa within Spain (www.vibasa.es). From just outside the main bus station you can get the local bus to Zarautz. If you catch the national train to San Sebastian, or are coming from San Sebastian Old Town, you want to get the bus from the street called Avenida. Fast buses run on the hour from San Sebastian, take 20 minutes and cost 2 euros. Look out for the Z3, from bus stop 26 on the Avenida. See the maps for directions. Better yet take our private shuttle with us! It goes from Barcelona - our camp and from our camp - Barcelona. The buses leave from Plaza Catalunya in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. The Bus to Bulls overnight trip will leave in the afternoon at 3pm and the Weekend trip will leave at 4pm. Yes, all-inclusive includes it all. The only extra costs will be for lunches and dinner every second night. We run shuttles every morning at the crack of dawn to get to the first bull-run, except the 6th, which is the opening day where there is no run, so we head in around 9:30am. There are also shuttles going in in the late arvo/eve for the epic parties in Pamplona's streets. Yes, we fetch you from Zarautz station, so make your way there and call us when you know what time you'll be arriving. Breakfast is usually the good ol' Aussie toad-in-a-hole .... translation: egg cooked in a hole in a piece of toast. Yum! Sometimes we mix it up and have another sort of eggy mix, but whatever it is, it will be warm and will go down well after a big night. Yes, you absolutely do. You can fly into Barcelona in time for the Weekend trips which depart on 6th and 13th July and return 8th and 15th July consecutively. You can also do the Bus to Bulls trip from Barcelona, which leaves on Friday 6th and 13th July and returns to Barcelona in the afternoon the next day. Yes, the twin tents are two-man tents. We have two-man and three-man tents, so if you are a group of 3, you can all tent together. Just let us know your preferences when you book. We also have an option to have a private tent for a small additional fee - just in case you don't want to share.... or if you want leave space for the hottie you're going to meet at our campsite..... just saying... The campsite is awesome! It is right by the beach, there is a cafe/restaurant, a little shop, hot showers, laundry area, parking, drinkable water, plus we have our own party/dance floor area. The campsite itself has no lockers, but we have a giant container which gets locked every night and we can put small valuables in there during the festival and when we're away from the campsite. We cater for vegetarians, so we can always just remove the animal-product bits of that and stuff you to the brim with fruits and veggies and starches.....whatever we do, we'll make a plan for you. The campsite's name is Gran Camping Zarautz. It's an awesome campsite right near the beach but away from the overpopulated tourist beaches. The nightlife in Zarautz is a lot of fun. We also run complimentary buses into the centre of San Sebastian frequently for our twice weekly beach BBQ's that we put on in a nightclub there. The nightlife at our campsite, with about 1000 partiers, is also a lot of fun. Open bars can have that effect! Taxi's between San Sebastian city centre and the campsite on Zarautz beach cost around 20 euros. There is also very simple public transport for 2 euros. July 4 July 5 July 6 July 7 -14 Optional activities (not included): Pamplona's San Fermin Festival events are as follows:Run for your life (sometimes literally).
