Entrada de Toros y Caballos

Although not as well-known as Pamplona's Sanfermines, Segorbe's festival is just as old, dating from at least the 14th century, and has been designated a Festival of International Touristic Interest by the Spanish government. Unlike other bull runs, it is distinguished by the use of horses to guide the bulls as they run through the town, and by the absence of barriers protecting onlookers, who prod the bulls on with sticks or canes. An estimated 20,000 spectators participate each day in this event.
At 12:00 each day a dozen bulls are collected from the nearby hamlet of Peñalba and driven across the river and along C/ Argén to the Torre del Verdugo (Torre del Botxí), which they reach at about 13:00. The roads are lined with spectators, and a few daredevils will attempt to run with the bulls as they pass; there are several good perches along the city walls from which to observe the action.
At Torre del Verdugo six bulls are then selected for the carrera (running), which begins promptly at 14:00, signaled by a firecracker. The bulls and horsemen then thunder along C/ Colón to the provisional bullring at the Plaza de la Cueva Santa, where they are held in pens until the evening's bullfights. The entire run lasts just about a minute, with throngs of spectators who had previously been milling about frantically running to the sides of the street to evade the bulls. The horsemen then return to the starting point, with great applause and fanfare.
