Céret also holds an annual bull running festival known as
la feria where young bulls (usually
with their horns blunted) are run through the streets corralled by a group of
highly skilled Camargue horsemen and women. Young bloods fired up on cheap
local wine and wearing traditional red and yellow Catalan outfits, chase from
behind in an attempt to catch hold of the bull's tail and hold on for as long
as they can. Many bruises result although mostly it has to be said, to the ego.
The feria is always held the weekend nearest to 14 July, Bastille Day.
