Austin, TX – Ludus Tours announced plans to offer budget accommodation for the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. This marks the first year Ludus will offer various levels of hotel accommodations:
The annual San Fermines Festival begins every year at noon on July 6 with an Opening Ceremony in front of the town hall. The famous encierro (half-mile run from the bull pen to the bull arena) takes place every morning starting July 7th and continues until the final day of the festival, July 14th. The six bulls that ran the streets with 2,500 people in the morning will face one of three matadors in a bullfight in the arena later that day.
The 204-hour festival is also filled with parades, concerts, traditional dancing, and other cultural activities. Each day ends with a spectacular fireworks display.
All Ludus packages include a Spanish dinner, a welcome happy hour with tapas, bull fight tickets, a walking tour of the Pamplona city center, and breakfast at a VIP balcony with prime viewing of the encierro,.The viewing balcony is a key component for clients who want to see the bull run from a safe view.
“The San Fermines festival is the epitome of Spanish culture and passion,” said Ashley Blake, Director of Events for Ludus. Blake reasoned that Ludus’ decision to have a budget option should attract more travelers in Spain. “No matter what your age or background you’re going to have an experience of a lifetime at the Running of the Bulls.”
2009 will be Ludus’ third consecutive year hosting clients at the San Fermines festival. For complete tour package details and pricing, go to www.Pamplona-
