Running of the Bulls Balconies: The best place to witness the run
After nearly two decades of hosting international travelers like yourself in Pamplona, trust us when we say you do not want to watch the encierro from street level. Treat yourself to a morning of fun on one of our many Running of the Bulls balcony rentals. Not only will you have a prime view of the action, but we also provide breakfast and make for great company! A Running of the Bulls balcony is an experience you will never forget.
You have two options to gain access to our exclusive Running of the Bulls balconies:
- Book a full travel package with us, featuring convenient hotel accommodations, multiple chances to watch the bull run, walking tours, a night at the bullfights, and more; or
- Book single morning balcony reservations (pending availability). All of our Running of the Bulls balconies are reserved for our full package guests, however, we will accept balcony-only reservations in the spring and summer if any space remains.
Join us on the Running of the Bulls balconies!
We host guests at two of the most coveted viewing spots along the course. Based on availability, each balcony-only reservation ranges from $150-$250 (USD) per person. If you’re not on the street running with the bulls, you will want to be with us above the fray with a clear view of all the action.
Please note that we accept only a small and exact number of people to watch from our balcony and share breakfast with us each morning. We do not over book because it’s important to us that nobody feels crowded and everyone can see the run easily.
Balcony 1: La Curva Balconies
Witness the most dangerous portion of the Running of the Bulls from above! We have an incredible location at the corner of Calle de Mercaderes and Calle de Estafeta, known as “Dead Man’s Curve” or “La Curva.”
As the bulls come charging down the street, there is a 90 degree turn that has unpredictable results. Sometimes the bulls make the sharp turn, sometimes they wipe out with runners get caught in all of the mess! Enjoy this spectacular view with a breakfast in your belly.
This experience takes place on the third or forth floor for a long, unobstructed view.
Balcony 2: Estafeta Street
We have several balcony locations along Estafeta Street, which is the longest of the four streets involved in each run. This means you’ll have some of the best perches in all of Pamplona. You’ll be able to see the bulls as they approach, stand exactly over them as they run by, and also see them as they run off!
If you’re not on the street running with the bulls, this an outstanding place to watch comfortably. Each run is broadcast on national television, and we have a TV up and running to show the beginning portions of the run that are out of our line of vision. We are also located directly across from one of the television cameras, which is a tribute to our balcony quality. In our experience, it’s one of the best Pamplona balconies you can find. Our staff and clients have been at this location for the past several years and we love it!
We’ll bring breakfast
The run begins at 8:00AM each day, which means you’re in for an early morning. Lucky for you, we’ll take care of breakfast. Our breakfast spread includes items such as juice, sangria, coffee, Spanish ham and tortillas, fruit, Spanish snacks, pastries, and more! Alcohol availability varies by location.
