The San Fermin festival in Spain was also celebrated by our Spanish Students! Read more here about how they celebrated the long standing cultural tradition.
Last week a big group of Mester’s Spanish students took the oportunity to join in the Spanish Culture and celebrate the San Fermin celebrations with a party of their own!

We organised a party in the local popular bar Camelot, in the centre of Salamanca, for the students to party and celebrate together! The party was on Monday last week and we organised food and canapés for the group of students to have some food, and there were 2 free drinks at the bar for our students! Lots of people dressed up in fancy dress for the occasion and the bar in Salamanca was also decorated for the event!!
Everyone had a great time and there was music and dancing all night. One of our students has made a Facebook album of the evening where you can see more photos of the Spanish Students enjoying the Spanish culture!! Every week we have a welcome party in the centre of Salamanca to welcome the new students to the school. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the other Spanish students.
The San Fermin festival is enormous in Spain and is a long standing cultural tradition that takes place in Pamplona every year from the 6 to the 14th of July. The most famous part of the celebrations is the bull chasing through the streets of the city and is popular with people from all over the world who come to take part! There’s also music in the streets and loads of different types of bands (rock, jazz etc!) do shows across the city as part of the festival.
The festival also has a procession that goes through the city including the local band and is for anyone and everyone who wants to take place. It leads up to the Cathedral to collect the saint of the Festival, San Fermin, because all Spanish festivals are related to a saint!
