FCO ADVICE FOR RUNNING OF THE BULLS

No comments :

Foreign & Commonwealth Office recently published advice for Britons travelling to the San Fermin Festival in Spain, otherwise known as the Running of the Bulls.

The event is a dangerous one and participants have been injured or killed over the years.

The FCO warns those participating should "weigh up the risks of doing so, and understand the consequences if you are injured. You should not participate under the influence of alcohol."

The office advises participants to check their travel insurance policy, as it might not provide cover for those who participate in high-risk activities.

It also warns against petty crime and pick-pocketing; the local authorities will provide safe locker facilities at the Pamplona Town Hall while the local municipal police station has established a lost and found office.

The festival takes place from Wednesday 6 until Thursday 14 July in Pamplona, Spain.
