Pamplona’s San Fermin festival is famous to outsiders for the running of the bulls through the city streets, but to locals it is a nine-day celebration of age-old magic where everything is real–and everything is possible. This image shows an old lady  dressing a “kiliki” on the last day of the festival, before he says good-bye to the children until next year. Each day the kiliki run after the kids trying to beat them with their coshes in a never ending game. Some children love them while others feel scared, but all of them cry when they say good- bye until next year.
