Ever since Ernest Hemingway popularized the fiesta de San
Fermín with the publication of The Sun Also Rises in 1926,
the world has been enthralled with the concept of running
with the bulls. For millions, running with the bulls remains
on their bucket list, and for Hemingway fans it is a
lifelong dream. For Peter N. Milligan, it is a way of life.
Part memoir and part travel guide, Bulls Before Breakfast
recounts Milligan's many adventures in Pamplona, Spain. In
his dozen years of visiting the fiesta de San Fermín,
Milligan has run with the bulls over 70 times and
accumulated stories both thrilling and terrifying. Bulls Before Breakfast is the definitive guide to Pamplona,
its famed fiesta, and the surrounding Kingdom of Navarra. It
is also a memoir of two brothers running with the bulls and
exploring every corner of the city, the countryside, the
mountains, the beaches, and the famed restaurants of the
Basque hinterland. The book focuses on local knowledge, and
the hidden mysteries of this closed, private culture and
community. Milligan has slowly pried open this trove of
secrets over the past twelve years, all while refining the
art of getting between the horns of a massive, perfect
Spanish killing machine, el toro bravo, and running for his
life.
