Last night in Pamplona, Spain.
A unique and dramatic picture by Associated Press.
Sanfermin and the “encierros” were out and soccer was in.
What a picture!
Diario de Noticias 1, Diario de Navarra 0.
The underdog paper of Pamplona has today the right front page with the right picture.
With the tragic moment of how the horn of the bull kills this young runner.
As Henry Cartier-Bresson would say, this is the picture with “le moment decisive.”
And the picture credit goes to Pablo Roa of Sanfermin.com
First rule to run: sleep well and get a newspaper.
A rolled-up newspaper could save your life.
A newspaper will help you to keep your distance from the bull horns.
See what the “divinos” do as they are the real local expert runners.
And as you can see in this poster from 1909, the young runner uses not a newspaper but a fancy handkerchief.
So, today, buy a newspaper and run!
Diario de Navarra, the leading paper of Pamplona (Spain), covers the X Pincho’s Week (“pincho” is how the locals refer to the typical “tapas”).
Seven well-done full-color pages to display all you need to know about the 204 “pinchos” that will be available during the week in 102 bars in Navarra (90 of them in Pamplona).
All the “pinchos” have the same price: $6 each.
On the front page is the 2007 winner, a “pincho” from the Melbourne Bar in Pamplona.
