A 66-year-old man has become the 12th person to die as a result of being gored.
He wandered into a restricted area and was hit by the bull as it ran through the town of Cuellar.
The town’s mayor, Jesus Garcia Pastor, said he died while the bull was being herded as part of the annual celebrations to honour its patron saint.
Television images showed how the man fell to the ground after the bull’s horn had penetrated his chest.
The victim was identified as a visitor from the Basque town of Errenteria. His was the 12th death by goring in town festivals so far this year in Spain.
Bull runs are a traditional part of summer festivals across Spain, the most famous being San Fermin in Pamplona.
