The Pobre de Mí, namely “Poor Me”, is the touching, emotional and yet very ironic, Closing Ceremony of the festivities of San Fermín in Pamplona. At midnight of July the 14th, thousands of people will gather in the City Hall square (plaza Consistorial, or Ayuntamiento), everyone holding a candle in his/her hand. And they will start to chant “poor me, the festivities are ending!” The atmosphere will quickly resemble that of a big funeral, except that the music… changes from slow and sad to fast and full of energy every 30 seconds! We mourn the end of this Fiesta but then we get excited about the next one coming in a year's time… because it’s true: “ya falta menos”, we are already 10 days closer to the next San Fermín! Also this event is definitely better seen from a balcony, as space in Plaza Consistorial will be very scarse and crowds will be pushing.
