Huamantla Bull Run Video

Festival Location: Huamantla, Mexico

Festival Type(s): Bizarre Festivals, Traditional Festivals, Bizarre Sports Events

It seems our Spanish cousins aren't the only ones with a bull-based death-wish. Each August our Mexican friends face off with los Toros in their own Huamantla Bull Run.

I have to admit to running with the bulls in my spring-heeled youth but pay close attention to the verb in this statement. Running, yes I ran, you couldn't see me for dust, those poor bulls didn't stand a chance of catching me. Now in Huamantla, Mexico there seems to be a little more of the waiting than there was in Pamps. A tactic that mystifies me a little. Anyway, I digress, on with the video.
