City Hall Plaza before Chupinazo
Chupinazo - The launching of the firecracker announcing the beginning of the festivities, better known as the Chupinazo, is the moment in which the fiesta really burst into life. The fuse of the firecracker is lit at 12 o’clock noon sharp on July 6th on the central, second-floor balcony of the Town Hall in the Plaza Consistorial to the shouts of “Viva San Fermin! Gora San Fermín!” (“Long live San Fermin!” first in Spanish, then in Basque).
