The bull runner of Pamplona Juan Pedro Lecuona is the owner of one of the best pairs of legs in the history of the bulls at Pamplona. With traditionally rolled up his pants and fanfold paper, their careers have become one of the traditional prints of Pamplona career. Behind the runner, his life at the limit in the morning and work in the evenings as “mulillero” at the Bullfight Arena, a wife and four children, a few friends and beliefs. Behind the man is a hero. This is the story of how the family pass, values and fears between the living room and vertigo face bull.
