The Fiesta of San Fermin Starts Today
Charles Bukowski, Ernest Hemingway, Pamplona, San Fermin Festival, Spain

Hemingway is remembered with a statue in Cafe Iruna in Pamplona.
“Hemingway feels it from the grave
every time the bulls run through the streets of
Pamplona
again
he sits up
the skeleton rattles
the skull wants a drink
the eyeholes want sunlight
the young bulls are beautiful,
Ernest
and you were
too
no matter
what they say
now. ”
~ Charles Bukowski
On 6th July begins the 14 day San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain.
