The bulls run at 8 in the morning and it's scary as fuck, hehe.
I did it a few years ago, the bulls always go for the foreigners.
As you are going to be in the north, head up to San Sebastian, lovely city and the best food in Spain, and if you like art, then Bilbao for the Guigenhiem.
If you keep going West along the north Atlantic coast you get Santander, (lovely beaches) Asturias (nice cider), and the Galicia (amazing coast, forests and food).
You can get into the north of Portugal this way.
Madrid is a great city, it gets overshadowed by Barca, but it's still a lovely place to see, just be careful in the big park there, you will probably get mugged.
But again if you like art you've got the prado, alot of Goya.
Barca on the med coast is a must, loads to do see and fun to party in, then down the coast for Valencia if you fancy another big city to explore.
From there you can hop on a ferry over to the Balerics if you want a few days of partying *Ibiza*, or complete peace *Formentera*.
If you keep going south from Valencia along the coast, there's some lovely towns, as well as some shite * Benidorm* but you'll end up in Alicante, where I live.
The South.
Granada and Seville are both worth a visit, the coast is a bit shite though, but it does have the rare gem. But from Sevile you can keep going west into Southern Portugal.
