Today I had the great pleasure to publish a reportage of San Fermin in the Magazine of the La Vanguardia Spanish Newspaper (which has a circulation of over 1 million copies), with the fate of one of my picturesin the cover. In addition, I had the immense pleasure that my photographs were accompanied by the magnificent text of Jorge Nagore. This year will be my tenth SanFermin, possibly the most special of all.

The Patum de Berga is a popular and traditional festival that is celebrated each year in the Catalan city of Berga during Corpus Christi. It consists of a series of “dances” (balls) by townspeople dressed as mystical and symbolical figures, and accompanied either by the rhythm of a drum—the tabal, whose sound gives the festival its name—or band music. The balls are marked by their solemnity and their ample use of fire and pyrotechnics.

It was declared a Traditional Festival of National Interest by the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1983, and as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2005.

Las peñas son el alma de la fiesta en Sanfermin. Su protagonismo es absoluto en la corrida en sol, que bien podría llamarse el triunfo de las peñas. Aquí, bajo la protección de su pancarta y vestidas cada una con su blusón distintivo, las peñas reinan sobre la plaza, es decir, sobre el universo. También llevan el peso de la música callejera y de la plaza de toros.

Hacen de la corridas de San Fermín algo diferente y único en el mundo. No recuerdo acontecimiento más singular y divertido. Y que decir de la comida, a partir del tercer toro de la tarde he tenido la ocasión de merendar con ellos, aunque insisistiera en que no tenía tiempo o que se yo, a comer!!!

Esta serie de fotografías intenta reflejar algunas de mis vivencias en las tardes de toros al Sol, en las que he tenido el inmenso placer de conocer a algunos integrantes de peñas de San Fermín. Han sido unas tardes inolvidables, para el recuerdo,
