Hi!

I can’t wait to head to the running of the bulls next year (if I can persuade my boyfriend to come with me to visit Spain from the US…he hates to fly…argh, but maybe I can persuade him with sangria) and to see this crazy event. My friend is getting married in Boston soon and went to buy a wedding dress at an event they called the Running of the Brides. I think this looks almost as dangerous as the bulls…ok…not as much, but still scary!

Ok, before I forget can anyone recommend any cheap hotels in the area to stay for the running of the bulls (I’m a struggling student so cheaper the better!!)

Thanks!

Might help if you told us which city you want to visit in spain for the running of the bulls?
Or am I being ignorant by not knowing which city holds this event?

Hope to come home alive.

came back after doing some research.
i am guessing you would want to see the bull running in Pamplona which is the most popular destination for this activity.
In Pamplona, the cheapest accomodation i could find was the Ernest Hemingway Hostel which still comes out to 20 euros a night and might be more during this infamous week of San Fermin. http://www.hostelwor…

Hi Tigrouflip,

Yes, Pamplona is perfect and thanks for your hard work on my behalf as it’s very helpful and you’re very kind!! The Ernest Hemingway place looks neat and will start planning my vacation asap,

Thanks again,
Rebulah

I can give you the list of some hotels with very cheap rates in Pamplona.
Pamplona Plaza, Andia, Blanca De Navarra , Exe Puerta Del Camino Hotel, Gran Hotel La Perla , Hotel Yoldi, Maisonnave, Sercotel Leyre, Villava Hotel and Occidental Europa. All this hotels provide great facility. All this hotels are situated in the city and u can find them very easily.
