I went to a very different event in a small town, Mataelpino. It was called "El Boloencierro". Although Matselpino is a small city, El Boloencierro is a large festival with many people from all over the world.

This confinement was only for adults. There were like 400 participants and many spectators. There was another race for children. They used a version of the smaller ball. In truth, there were six balls between 30-50 kilos that ran downhill with the supervision of volunteers so that the children were not injured. This year there were two people injured ... one seriously and one not. So it is much safer than the confinement of La Fiesta de San Fermín.
