The Basque Experience
Cave
Paintings
Bison: Altamira, Spain
Some paleontologists(scientists
who study prehistoric man and animals) believe that the early Basques were
the first people who inhabited the caves of northern Spain and southern
France about 25,000 years ago. It was here that they painted exquisite
images of bison, deer, bears, and horses on the cave walls.
If you'd like to do research about
the ancient cave paintings, you probably want to search the Internet.
If you'd like to find more information, you might want to go to your local
library to find National Geographic Magazines or books on cave paintings.

Pamplona,
-
The fact best known about Pamplona is its running of bulls,
made famous by Ernest Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises. This takes place
during the annual festival of San Fermin, 6–14 July, which commemorates
the martyrdom of a local 3rd-century saint. Bullfights occur every evening
during the festival. Every morning at 7 AM, a rocket announces that the
bulls for the evening's fights have been loosed from their corral to run
1,000 meters through the barricaded streets of the city to the bullring.
Brave and foolhardy citizens wearing traditional red and white neckerchiefs
test their courage by running ahead of the herd, ducking into building
entries as stampeding bulls near.
