Little to celebrate in Pamplona with no running of the bulls

The last time the festival was called off it was during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.

The absence of the bulls leaves the festival somewhat lacking in excitement.

Residents in Spain’s northern city of Pamplona dressed up on Monday in white clothes and traditional red scarves to mark what should have been the start of their annual San Fermin festival, which was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
