Pamplona is located in northern Spain along the Arga River in the province of Navarra. It is an important center for communications, agriculture, and industry in Spain. The city is known for the Festival of San Fermin, which occurs every morning for two weeks in July. During the festival, cows and bulls are let loose in the streets to chase people toward a bullring, which is a dangerous tradition that some Basque people believe should make Pamplona independent from the rest of Spain.
