Glossary y of San Fermín Terms. 7


23.Poor me!:
This is the sad scream that is heard at midnight on July 14 at the Consistorial Plaza. It means that the festival of San Fermin has finished.




24. Iruña:
The name given to Pamplona in Euskera (Basque Language).

25. Jota:
On the 7th of July this is one of the little moments when a jota is sung by two girls in chorus to San Fermin Saint. This happens in the morning at 11.00 am. During the San Fermin Procession there is a stand still in the Council´s Plaza and that is when hundreds of people coming from Navarra´s County and those living in Pamplona are in total silence to hear the song, successfully performed, by the Santiago de Chantrea´s Choir. This ritual is a tradition since 1975.

26. 'Kalimotxo':
Is par excellence the main San Fermin´s drink, mainly among young people and is a mixing of red wine with Coke. Typically it's served in a 'Katxi', which is a larg plastic glass.

27. Naranjito
(This name was given to the Spanish Mascot during the World Cup 1982): These are people,  usually young, who are dressed in orange overalls and based in the key areas along Pamplona during the San Fermin Festival and their function is to guide visitors and provide information.
