The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona is an unforgettable spectacle, and the best way to experience it is from a Running of the Bulls Balcony. Whether you’re wanting to see the main stretch of the run or catch the famous chaos at Dead Man’s Corner, renting a balcony will provide you with a front-row view of one of Spain’s most exhilarating traditions. With various options along the route, we can guide you to the perfect spot that suits your preferences and budget.

Choosing the Right Balcony for Your Budget and Experience

The balconies along Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls route offer a variety of views, from intense moments right after the bulls leave the corrals to heart-pounding action at Dead Man’s Corner. While there’s no way to see the entire route from one spot, each balcony section provides a unique vantage point of the bulls and the runners. The areas of the run include:

1. Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo is the first section of the route, and while it’s short, it offers a highly charged view as the bulls are released from the Corralillos de Gas and charge uphill. Balconies here offer a front-row look as the bulls sprint up the narrow street, and runners dart to avoid them—creating a thrilling, high-energy atmosphere. If you want to be among the first to see the bulls in action, this is a great spot.

2. Mercaderes

The Mercaderes stretch is one of the shortest but also one of the most exciting. As the bulls turn the corner onto Mercaderes, the energy ramps up, with runners attempting to stay caught up with the bulls as they race toward Dead Man’s Corner. Balconies in this section provide a close-up view of the chaos, where runners often jostle and push against the bulls in a desperate attempt to avoid injury while keeping pace with the animals.

3. Dead Man’s Corner

Dead Man’s Corner, or “La Curva,” is one of the most famous and dangerous spots along the run. Here, the bulls and runners must make a sharp 90-degree turn, often resulting in spectacular collisions and wipeouts. It’s one of the most photographed parts of the bull run, and balconies here offer an unparalleled view of the chaos. If you’re looking for the ultimate thrill, Dead Man’s Corner is where you’ll experience the action at its peak. These spots are in high demand, so be sure to book early.

4. Estafeta

Calle Estafeta is the longest stretch of the bull run, and it’s also one of the most famous. Balconies along Estafeta provide a mix of options: the first- and second-floor balconies offer some of the best views, while higher floors give you a more expansive view at a lower price. Balconies toward the end of Estafeta, closer to the Telefonica section, offer a slightly slower pace as the bulls and runners make a turn, providing a unique perspective on the action.

Estafeta is also a great place to get a balcony if you are looking to watch someone run. In our Pamplona Bull Run Tour, we recommend this section as the best place to observe runners in the heat of the action. From here, you can see the intensity and drama as runners jockey for position and race alongside the bulls.

Private vs. Shared Balconies

When renting a Running of the Bulls Balcony, you can choose between private or shared balcony spaces. Private balconies are the best choice for those looking for a more intimate experience and greater comfort. However, shared balconies are also a great option if you want to be part of the excitement while keeping costs lower. With our balconies, you’ll always have a front-row view, and we never overcrowd the space to ensure you have a clear, unobstructed view of the bull run.

Key Factors to Consider

When choosing a balcony, consider the following factors:

• Location: Each section of the route offers a different experience. Santo Domingo offers an intense early view, Dead Man’s Corner provides dramatic action, and Estafeta gives a longer stretch of the run to watch.
• Floor level: Higher balconies tend to be more affordable, but if you’re after a closer, more intense experience, a lower balcony may be the best fit.
• Budget: We offer a variety of balcony rental options, from basic to premium, so you can find a spot that fits your budget and expectations.
