Excuse for reckless behavior or part of San Miguel´s patrimonio? A city council vote will decide the future of this tradition in our city.
After 33 years, in 2007 San Miguel´s most controversial public event, the Sanmiguelada (the running of the bulls) was cancelled due to concerns over security and its possible impact on the city´s appointment as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ana Valeria Clarens, a local businesswoman and founder of the civil association Patronato Pro-Juventud Sanmiguelense, is working to change this. The proposed fair would include a running of the bulls among other activities. Clarens is being assisted by experts from Pamplona, Spain and the state of Aguascalientes.
The vote will take place on Sunday, February 7.
