Fiesta de San Fermin

Am considering to go to the fiesta in 2012. Havn't had time yet to research it. Pamplona seems somewhat out of the way. Is it hard to get to? Is the fiesta worth seeing? Any general info would be a big help. Havn't had a chance to get Rick's book on Spain yet. Thanks,
Jim

The Fiesta was true and the men ran before the bulls with great bravery. The wine was like bull's blood and tasted of the love of a woman and the brevity of life and I thought how lucky we were to be alive in such a place. The weather was fine and clear like on that day when we dynomited the bridge in the Sierra Guadarrama. I poured another drink and thought of Maria.

Mobbed and rowdy all week and it will be a bear to find a place to stay. If you stay out of town and drive in, parking will be impossible to find. Other than that one week, it's a neat town.
