Not all of us will be lucky enough to enjoy the Sanfermines in Pamplona. If you are not going to be able to go this year, you love the running of the bulls but you hate the crowds and the danger of a bull (or several) on your heels, the best thing you can do is watch it at home. Or anywhere you are. But from a distance!
You should know that every day, around 8 in the morning, RTVE will broadcast a special live show that will be presented by the regulars of each year: Elena S. Sánchez and Javier Solano. The special will be broadcast on La 1 de Televisión Española, but also live on RTVE.es and if you are not at home to turn on the TV, through of the mobile application, which is available for both iOS and Android.
The only thing you have to do is activate the direct from the application, every day, from 7.15 in the morning until 9.30. Before the confinement, there will be about the bulls, the livestock and the different sections will be covered. For the transmission, a new aerial camera will be used from the Museo de Navarra to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and a new point of view will be added to get a good look at the longest stretch fast and inclined route of the bulls. The two zip lines that were already installed in previous years will remain there and will be added to the 27 cameras, 3 in slow motion, that will record the race.
