Hoping to do this while in Spain this year but trying to figure out which travel company is best to get pre and after party etc

Not to mention the Stoke Travel guides are so fun to party with, plus you get to meet so many international people! Highly recommend it !!

Tickets, transport included and free booze with their promocode: FREE

I am so excited, can’t wait!

I’d love this. Your tip of wearing goggles is a good one. I notice not too many people in the photo are (but I bet they wish they were).

I have always wanted to attend it and this post has made me more certain. Next August in Bunol for sure.

I did this last summer while working for an Australian travel company (Stoke Travel). It was madness. I was the only one in the staff crew from Spain (Madrid), everyone else was Australian, and so are most of the visitors. But it is insane. For me it was a one time thing, too many people, not enough space, some people panicked and some really wanted to be in the front rows so were pushing quite aggressively. It was fun, but one time is enough for me. If you are interested, Stoke Travel has quite good deals sleeping in a close by camp site, and all the beer and sangria you can think of.

Yes! I have the same question as Laura on the tickets!! Do you think it’s necessary to buy the package or we could be just fine if we purchase individual tickets and our own train ticket. Thank you!!

Do you have to buy a package or are individual tickets an option?

Thanks!

This is exactly what kept me away from this festival – a fear of being crushed and stampeded on. Even though I absolutely adore Spanish festivities, this one, along with bull runs, is definitely not for the faint of heart.
