The "Apartado"

The event takes place at noon at the bull stalls an is attended by invitation only, distributed at the town hall. It is the moment in wich the bulls are separated fron their brothers fpr the Corrida in the afternoon. Previously the toreros were assigned their bulls by a lottery system. The breeder would put three silver coloured balls in his hat, each containing the number of the bulls, for the toreros to draw.Curious fans observe the course of the ceremony and phisical aspect of the bulls from a small balcony.
The "Apartado" is a social event wich unites the most select of Pamplona´s San Fermín population, politicians, authors, artist, writers, journalist and "handsome people" attend the ceremony to enjoy the on-goings and taste the tradicional pinchos de chistorra (sausage snacks).
