An efidgy of San Fermin is carried through the center of Pamplona, during a procession after the first running of the bulls through the streets or "encierro" of the San Fermin Festival, on July 7, 2016. The nine-day fiesta got underway at midday to cries of "Viva San Fermin!" at city hall yesterday, followed seconds later by the firing of a firecracker known as the "chupinazo".
