This is the annual festival where bulls are run in the streets surrounded by festival goers. It is also where 'Running of Nudes' was set up to counter tha animal cruelty.

I have just watched the first 'running' on TV about 30 minutes ago! It's one of the (if not THE) biggest fiesta in Spain. The first night has a reputation for being a bit of a drunken orgy and I guess that is where these shots are from.

You should read "The sun also rises" by Hemingway (also known as "Fiesta"). It's a very traditional festivity, originally religious, held in the city of Pamplona in northern Spain. It is known worldwide for the bull's run, as Pedro said. Not a nudist festival per se, but with the summer's heat and all the sangria drinking (people traditionally wear all white, with red bandannas - the purple you see in the girls t-shirts is the wine...), its not unusual to see such a display of boobage.

It is WILD. Just imagine about half a million people crammed in the old district area of a city populated by less than 200,000. During the whole week, the partying is 24-7. The bars and pubs never close. And the party is on the streets.
