Maria Jesus Filiu, 57, gets in the middle of the traditional “Baile de la Alpargata” (The Espadrille Dance), during Sanfermines in Pamplona, Spain, July 8, 2023. The famed bull-running festival engulfs downtown Pamplona every July when revellers from around the globe descend upon the northern Spanish city for nine days of adrenaline, sweat and debauchery savoured as freely as the wine flows. Some are drawn to the Sanfermines – as the festival is popularly known – by the timeless prose of Ernest Hemingway who became besotted with the Sanfermines on his first visit, exactly 100 years ago. The bull-running, the bullfighting local experts – and the hedonistic partying – captivated him so deeply that he returned eight times between 1924 and 1959. REUTERS/Susana Vera
