Pamplona, The Feast of San Fermin, and Dolls

On today's "Rick Steve's Europe," our hero is an Pamplona, for the Running of the Bulls. He talked about the Feast of St. Fermin, and showed pictures of the Church of St. Fermin, with its Santo of the revered person himself wearing real clothing and jewelry. He is an example of a Medieval, Renaissance doll figure still in use for its original purpose. Also shown in this episode were the gigantic puppets paraded through the streets in a religious procession. I loved this show because it brought back memories of the time I spent visiting and studying in Spain. I was privileged to visit there twice, and I think it is my favorite country to explore.
