What is the name of the annual celebration in Spain that honors Saint Fermin?

• A. San Fermín
• B. La Tomatina
• C. Feria de Abril
• D. Las Fallas

Answer: (A)

Saint Fermin is honored with a famous annual festival in Pamplona, Spain. The event carries his name, San Fermín, and it takes place from July 6 to 14. It’s best known for the encierro, the running of the bulls through the streets, along with religious processions and festive celebrations. The other festivals listed are real Spanish celebrations too, but they happen in different places and have different themes: La Tomatina is a tomato-throwing festival in Buñol; Feria de Abril is Seville’s spring fair; Las Fallas is Valencia’s festival with large burning sculptures. So the name of the celebration that specifically honors Saint Fermin is San Fermín.
