3. The history of the fiesta goes back to the middle ages. It
is more of a religious celebration to honor Saint
Fermín. The fiesta is consisted of tournaments and
acrobats and much more. Comparsa de Gigantes is a
main parade of the celebration where people go
marching in the streets with big heads. A main figure
of the celebration is Ernest Hemingway who was a

fiesta is about. He has gone to the celebration over 40
times and you can see his adventures in his books.
