PAMPLONA BULLS
Pamplona is a Spanish city located in the autonomous community of Navarre. It has a long history dating back to Roman times when it was known as Pompaelo. During the Middle Ages, Pamplona was an important commercial and cultural center, and the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre.
 
The link between Pamplona and bulls dates back to the 14th century when the first bullfights were held during the city's patron saint festival, San Fermín. The festival became famous thanks to the novel "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway, which described the running of the bulls through the streets of Pamplona. During the San Fermín festival, which takes place in July, bulls are released into the streets and run alongside daring participants.
 

 
When visiting Pamplona you have to go to:
 
Plaza del Castillo: This is the main square of the city, surrounded by historic buildings and lively cafés.  

 
Cathedral of Santa Maria: This Gothic cathedral dates back to the 14th century and is located in the heart of the old town. Citadel of Pamplona: A 16th-century fortress located in the center of the city, built to defend against French invasions. Plaza de Toros de Pamplona: This is Pamplona's bullring, which hosts bullfights during the San Fermín festival. The Walls of Pamplona: These ancient walls date back to the medieval period and surround the old town of Pamplona.  

 
TYPICAL FOOD - LOS PINTXOS:
 
Pintxos are small snacks or appetizers that are a popular culinary tradition in the Basque Country, including Pamplona. The city has a lively pintxos scene, with numerous bars and restaurants serving up a variety of delicious pintxos.
 
Some of the most popular pintxos in Pamplona include:
Gilda: This pintxo consists of a skewer with olives, anchovies, and pickled peppers. Tortilla de patatas: A classic Spanish dish, this pintxo features a thick potato omelet cut into small squares. Croquetas: These are small fried balls made with a béchamel sauce and various fillings, such as ham or seafood. Txistorra: This is a type of Basque sausage often served grilled or sliced as a pintxo. Bacalao: Salt cod is a popular ingredient in many Basque dishes, including pintxos, often served with garlic or tomato sauce.  
In Pamplona, pintxos are often enjoyed with a glass of local wine or cider, making for a delicious and authentic culinary experience.

A new US member! Welcome

A new US member! Welcome

Iʻm ready

And no te preocupes, folks, I'm joining Team USA  

is ready to once again bewilder totallympians
 
Count me in! 

The only requisite is chaotic voting patterns  

Congrats to @Bohemia and @Benolympique on your win. Your song made it past my first round and then I kinda forgot about it afterwards.
 
And look at that, we made it to 8th without winning a single medal. Unless that's a record, we would like to claim it. @Olympian1010

The theme was songs released between 2008-2010 so we made a list, then we shortlisted 3 of them, with Jordin winning it all. I came to know about Jordin during her American Idol days, so that was a factor (at least for me) in our decision
 
I may have an idea for what we can send in 2023, but I probably won't make that list in haste until next year

What a day! I enjoyed my first ever TOISC as a spectator and had a blast! From the waking up here in the States and catching up with the early results, following live in the afternoon and seeing get the win in the end. I hope to take part in future events, if possible.
