节日介绍

西班牙潘普洛纳奔牛节

时间：2009年7月6日至14日

地点：潘普洛纳，西班牙北部小镇，隶属于纳瓦拉自治大区，距离马德里7小时车程。

       西班牙一年一度的奔牛节的正式名称叫“圣费尔明节”，圣费尔明是潘普洛纳的保护神。奔牛节的起源与西班牙斗牛传统有直接关联。据说当初要将6头高大的公牛从城郊的牛棚赶进城里的斗牛场是件非常困难的事情。17世纪时，某些旁观者突发奇想，斗胆跑到公牛前，将牛激怒，诱使其冲入斗牛场。后来，这种习俗就演变成了奔牛节。 

       位于潘普洛纳市旧城区的“奔牛之路”其实是一条狭窄的石板街，全长800多米。奔牛时，上万名奔牛爱好者挤满了街道，６头重约500公斤的公牛从牛棚冲出后，在几分钟内以２0多公里的时速在杂乱的人群中狂奔，时常人仰牛翻，险象丛生，最后以公牛被引进斗牛场为大功告成。据统计，从1924年到2002年，共有14人被牛顶死，200多人被牛顶伤。即使如此，来自世界各地的冒险爱好者每年7月6日至14日这几天还是云集潘普洛纳这个只有10几万人的小城，在为期9天的人与牛之间的危险游戏中尽情享受欢乐与刺激。
