The Pamplona Posse

The best fun you can have in the world with your clothes on!

An Important Message about Dates

If you want to dicuss making a booking you can give us a call on +447974428881 But first off a few words of advice... Every year I tell people about the problems at the start of the fiesta and the weekends and people still do not listen! The fiesta is a wild party for ten whole days. People first arrive on the night of the 5th (very important if you want to catch the opening ceremony, don't think you can arrive early on the 6th, you can't check in until the afternoon, you can't park anywhere and transport into town is impossible, plus you have to be in the Town Hall Square by 10 am in your whites with your cold champagne). The fiesta then finishes at midnight on the 14th, but some diehards like to try and 'run with the busses' on the morning of the 15th. This year the nightmare days will  be the weekend (specifically the 10th and 11th), everybody and his brother will hit Pamplona during these days and basically the town can not cope. Last year there were record numbers in town on the Friday and Saturday night and you could not move or get served in a bar in the old part of town. In the mornings the runs were impossible and very very dangerous, you could not run and it was just a mass of people pushing, it was nothing to do with running with the bulls....it was a nightmare. It is also the case that accommodation during the the weekend is at least 50% more than at other times and transportation links become impossible. Still if you must have these dates we can arrange things for you but you have been warned!

For the fiesta in 2009 the first two nights i.e the 5th and 6th  is a nice package giving you the opening ceremony and one bull run. The 7th,8th and 9th is a nice 3 night package that give you some good bull runs as the streets are less crowded. These will be the best nights for having a good run with the bulls and being able to party in town, being able to move; we do a package for these three nights at 95 Euros per person per night. We also have two more packages; the nights of the 10th and 11th, i.e. the Friday and Sat nights at 125 Euros per person per night and then the two nights of the 13th and 14th which we can do at the rate of 65 Euros per person per night. Take my advice and avoid the weekends, it just gets too crowded. We also have some two night packages at 165 Euros in total per person. We can also do some extra special deals if you are in a group or are very flexible about your dates. Just drop us an email and ask.

 

So What Is The Pamplona Posse ?

We ain't a tour company, but we do sort out accommodation and ensure everybody who joins the Posse has a great time at the Fiesta. Basically we are a group of adventurers who have been going to the San Fermin Fiesta in pamplona for quite a few years.... (one of the guys started running with the bulls in 1976 ) We have one of the top bull runners in our team who does a walking tour of the bull run course each day and explains to all the beginners what to do and what not to do in the run. We have Spanish speakers who can help you get Bullfight tickets and we have many party animals who know all the best bars and how to party to excess. We also can book balcony spaces to watch the bull runs but these are expensive. Why does the Posse keep going to the Fiesta? Because it is the best party in the World! If you have never been there then you have been missing an expierence that is second to none. In fact I seriously do believe that you can divide the world into those that have been to pamplona and those that have yet to have the fun of attending the Fiesta. The other main role of the Posse over the years has been to help out the film crews and journalists that are trying to cover the fiesta. We have worked with the BBC and a number of other film makers. In past years we did a documentary for channel 4 (check it our www.onefourfive.co.uk) and helped produce a programme for the travel channel with Dougray Scott as the presenter. In 2005 we worked with four different film companies during the fiesta. We taught Jack Osbourne how to run with the Bulls and we made a programme with Tara Reid which is now showing all the time on the E Entertainment Channel. Each year we produce a Pamplona fanzine called NO BULLSHIT which takes an off the wall view of the Fiesta and the art of running with the bulls. So if you are one of the people lucky enough to stumble on our small group then just go for it and join us for the greatest time of your life!

We are a small organisation, which specialises in organising customised trips to run with the bulls in the San Fermin Fiesta in Pamplona. If it is bullfight tickets, balconies, or the bullrun; hotels, hostels, or having a good time we are they guys to sort you out. Running with the bulls is a dangerous and exciting activity; it is a once in a lifetime experience and it can provide one of the greatest thrills ever. The guys who run in our group have been running with the bulls for many, many years and they try to pass on their expertise to those that travel with us. Accommodation is a nightmare in Pamplona with all the hotels booked up months and even years in advance, a City that only has 2,400 hotel beds and over 2.5 million visitors to the fiesta is bound to struggle. We solve this accommodation nightmare by having a number of apartments located in and around the center of Pamplona. These provide good quality accommodation, and are in well chosen locations. We can also arrange balconies to watch the run and can help find the best bullfight tickets. The San Fermin Fiesta takes place from the midday on the 6th July until midnight on the 14th July and for those eight days this quiet town in the North of Spain becomes the party capital of the world. It is a wild insane party that goes on 24 hours a day and the only break that you get from the excesses of drinking and dancing is when you venture forth to run with the bulls in the morning. No other place in the world combines bravery with such bacchanalian excess. Going to the fiesta has been a life changing experience for many people. We have over the last three years had our own film crew in Pamplona recording all the fun and excitement. The films also make an incredible souvenir. Many TV and film companies use our logistical services and rely on the expertise of our bullrunners. Two years ago we found ourselves appearing as bull running extras alongside Hollywood movie star Dougray Scott, all in all it just added to the party. In 2005 we taught Tara Reid all about the fiesta and we taught Jack Osbourne how to run with the Bulls. Places with us are very limited so get in quick. If you want to follow Hemingway's footsteps, then we are the guys to show you the way. This site will provide you with lots of information about the San Fermin Fiesta in Pamplona. However the best and most enjoyable way of finding out about the magic of Pamplona is to be there for the Fiesta. The thrill you get from running with the Bulls is the most incredible feeling that you will ever experience. Contact us now for more information. You can email us at info@pamplona.powernet.co.uk or phone 0044 797 442 8881

 

 

 

 

 

 

Booking Spaces in Our Apartments

If you do want to book some of the spare spaces that we have, and trust me there is not that many of them. The first bit of advice is get in quick. The email are flooding in already and many people are booking again from last year. You must email bookings@pamplona.powernet.co.uk and discuss what you want. The more flexible you are the better. But in general, tell us what nights you would prefer, check out our packages for 2008 on our main page and also under our room rates section. Remember we generally have a three night minimum booking, just tell us how many nights and how many are in your group. If you also tell us if it is girls, guys couples then that helps for the single/double bed situation. Please also tell us where you are from and what you do. It helps us get a picture of somebody who will be partying with us. If you do accept one of our quotes then get the deposit or full payment to us asap and that way instead of being just pencilled in your are fully booked in. Another thing to remember is that we provide the beds but you generally provide your own sheets and towels.
