What is banned on the Chupinazo?

Few years ago, bring any items glass made to the Town Hall to experience the Chupinazo, were prohibited. The County´s Police controls all access to the square and check the bags, purses and backpack and although might seem silly, we must admit that since this measure was incorporated has decreased the number of accidents, especially cuts.

The Town Square has an area of ​​2.502m2. At the time of her Chupinazo 12,500 people (five per square meter) are gathered waiting for the Rocket to go off so this can give you an idea of ​​the crush. We must advise that if you don´t go at least two hours before it will be very difficult to reach the square. You should wear comfortable and light clothing because the crowd’s heat will be stifling. Opt for sports shoes and something easy to wash as for nearly two hours any kind of things can fall over you (cheap champagne, beer, cheap wine, eggs, flour, water…).Children or elderly shouldn’t attend the Opening Ceremony (Chupinazo) as they are prone to experience motion sickness or claustrophobia. The San Fermin is a red scarf garment par excellence and it be purchased in any textile trade, although Sanferminbalconies.com team will provide you with one. Do not tie it around your neck until you hear the first rocket as this is the tradition and you will see that any locals wears it on until the rocket is off at 12:00.
