Balcony spot in Mercaderes 9 (3rd floor)
Price range: 125,00€ through 225,00€
This third-floor apartment at Mercaderes 9 is one of our absolute favorite spots to watch the Running of the Bulls. From here, you’ll have a front-row view of the infamous Dead Man’s Curve — that heart-stopping moment when the bulls charge in from the right and try to make the tightest turn of the run. It’s pure adrenaline, and the energy is absolutely electric.
This balcony is where we love to record the most dramatic scenes of the run — the tension, the excitement, the chaos… it’s all right in front of you.
We’ll have coffee and a light breakfast ready for you.
The space fits up to 8 people comfortably.
Price is per-person on a shared balcony. Everyone gets a front-row view.
How to get here:
The address of the balcony is Mercaderes 9 THIRD floor.
It is a bit tricky to reach this apartment because you will have to cross both of the 2 barricades of the run. The best way for you to get here is get yourself to Plaza del Castillo. Once there look for HOTEL LA PERLA, on the side of the hotel there is a small street that goes down, it is called “Chapitela street” you will find the barricades of the run, you will have to go under both.
Once you cross the barricades you are in the route of the running of the bulls. The entrance to the apartment is right infront of you. It is a Bright Blue Door.
As you can see, it was not that difficult!
An elebator is under construction in the building, and we are not too sure if it will be operative by July, so you might have to go up the stairs.
Very important!
Please notice that due to the special location of the apartment you will need to be there by 7:00 am. Otherwise you risk being stopped by the police as no one else other than the runners are allowed on the street passed 7:15 am.
If you are driving, parking might be a problem as there is a big car park underneath Plaza del Castillo. However, in order for you to secure a spot, you need to be parked by 6:30am. Specially on July 7th, 8th and the weekends it is VERY busy. We always recommend to reach Pamplona with a car and a driver. This way you will be sure that you are at the balcony in time.
