Going to San Fermín alone is expensive — and pointless

  • Pamplona grinds to a halt during the festival: city-centre parking is practically impossible
  • Trains from Madrid or Barcelona sell out weeks in advance and prices skyrocket
  • Thousands of people from the same neighbourhood making the same trip in separate cars
  • Fuel, tolls and parking uncertainty: €60–120 if you come alone from far away
