At seeing the blood of is companion , one of the other young men that accompanied him fainted and both had to be brought to the Hospital of Navarre, where they were treated and subsequently released.

The monument is of six bulls, three bullocks, and ten young men, made of bronze, with a total weight of more than ten tons.
The young men and bulls depict the journey of the running of the bulls over some cobblestones that simulate the pavement on Estafeta and that were made ‘in situ’ once the sculpture was placed.
