About the Fiesta

Held each year in Pamplona, Spain in July, San Fermin (the Spanish call it Sanfermines) is much more than the daily spectacle of the encierros or "the running of the bulls" early each morning and much more than the corrida de toros in the Plaza de Toros late each afternoon. The fiesta is a celebration of family and life in Navarra that carries us through the coming year. We celebrate with singing and dancing in the plaza del Castillo (<- link to live web cam) into the night; we celebrate with time well spent with family and friends.

About Peña de Los Gatos

Fiesta belongs to the Navarrans, and has for centuries; however the gracious citizens of Iruña (Basque for Pamplona ) have opened their arms to the people of the world, inviting all to participate in what has often been described as one of the most exhilarating  experiences on planet earth.

Peña de Los Gatos is one of several "foreign" Peñas, in other words, those located outside of Pamplona . The Peñas of Pamplona were originally formed as social clubs with the primary purpose of coming together for Sanfermines.

All are welcome to join Peña de Los Gatos. While we are based in Los Gatos, California in the U.S.A., members reside all around the San Francisco Bay Area as well as in Barcelona and Pamplona Spain.

The are no fees, dues, or applications. If you wish to join our club or join us for Sanfermines 2008 or anytime, please contact us!
