Pamplona, Spain in July for the San Fermin festival, AKA The Running of the Bulls.
Craziest party I've ever been a part of. I did have a friend meet me there who happened to be knocking around Europe at the same time, but there were all kinds of solo people there, and I was surprised at the number of females there. I don't remember if I actually ran with the bulls or not, but the party was from sun up to sun up the next day.
I stopped over in London and Paris on my way over (met a different friend in Paris and did London solo).
I did an stopover airline award ticket (into LHR, back and forth from Paris, LHR to BCN and home from BCN) on *A. I did have to buy the ticket on Iberia from BCN to Pamplona, but it all worked out very well.
I wish I knew Spanish or had a friend there. I did think about Thailand as many say it's fun there too. Problem is ... I may not have enough miles saved up. Also .... want a trip with multiple stop overs at no cost like I've seen people do here.
