Pamplona:The Running of the Toros

Hello my Madridman comrades!
Okay, I'm planning on going to Pamplona for the festival of the bulls and I'm going to start doing the research now. Does anyone have any suggestions for lodging (in Pamplona) and transportaion from Madrid.
Plus if anyone is interested in joining our crew, email me.
Thanks in advance
ciao

Wow..... I always knew you were a WildMan, JoeSambuca! Wow. What an adventure that'll be.

As for your question, lodging recommendations, we're now in February and the running is this summer. You MIGHT be a little late by now - not sure. Give a look at the very small handful of inexpensive places (although ALL Bets are OFF for San Fermín - expect prices to be tripled or quadrupled from normal) with websites @ http://www.SpainHostels.com/links/Navarra/Pamplona/ . Also, try a search of this forum if you haven't alredy. Keep in mind that many people stay in nearby towns or even in San Sebastián-Donostia and take the first bus(es) to Pamplona to make the early morning runnings. I know. WHO WANTS TO STAY OUTSIDE OF PAMPLONA?!!? hehehe.. Have fun and keep us posted.

Anyone else have any ideas? Saludos, MadridMan

We have stayed at Hostal Bearan twice now and found it to be just the job, clean, tidy and very central, the only downside is that prices triple for San Fermin.
