BBK Live, Running of the Bulls & Surf Apartment - Pamplona, Zarautz, Basque Country. Surf Camps in Spain
INTRODUCTION
In true surf festival style, we’ve put together an epic package that combines the mayhem of our Running of the Bulls campsite and San Fermin festivites in Pamplona, with World’s Best Medium-sized Music Festival BBK Live and our little slice of paradise, Zarautz Surf Camp!
The Running of the Bulls festival officially starts on July 6th, 2018 with the first bull run on July 7th and runs through until July 14th with daily bull runs and nightly street parties. San Fermin is so much more than just the wonderful terror that is the Pamplona bull run… It is one of the world’s biggest street parties – day and night you can drink and dance and smooch in the streets. And there are cultural events every day, so you can do something nice by day and really justify going on a massive rampage during the night. Aaaaand we haven’t mentioned the San Fermin campsite yet, there will be massive, nightly campsite parties and festival vibes in the Park – nightly bands, DJs, and entertainment. All pre-pitched twin tents equipped with mattress and sleeping bag.
BBK Live takes place every year in the hills of Bilbao in Northern Spain – and there’s no way we’re missing it! BBK Live unites 60 alternative rock acts from all over the world to an intimate park for three incredible days of headbanging.
Finally recuperate at our Zarautz Beach Camp is an hour away from the Pamplona Campsite and it’s a little slice of paradise. It’s a combination of the landscape (mountains and beaches), the intriguing Basque culture, great food, crazy parties (more bars per square metre than anywhere else in the universe), insane waves and beautiful weather in which to enjoy it all.
