Thousands of revellers are drawn to the popular festival of Sanfermines, a week-long, historically rooted celebration held annually in the city of Pamplona in northern Spain
Leontxi Arrieta is one of the few remaining Pamplonians who met Hemingway in the flesh. The 91-year-old tells Reuters her family hosted the writer and his fourth wife, Mary Welsh, in their last visit to Sanfermines in 1959, two years before his death.
Pamplona native Miguel Izu, 63, who among several books on Sanfermines has penned one about the festival's links to Hemingway, believes the novelist's influence on its popularity has been exaggerated. Izu acknowledges the city was still exploiting Hemingway's image to promote itself,"either deliberately or unconsciously". But the reverse also applies:"We made him into a sort of Sanfermines icon - you can't talk about them without mentioning Hemingway."
