Spaniards Chased by Huge Ball, Not Bull, Through Mataelpino Streets

The small town of Mataelpino, outside Madrid, is home to a unique and relatively new event. Spain is well known for its bull runs, but here the locals are chased through the village streets by a giant ball instead. “The running of the balls” is known in Spain as “boloencierro” and has been going on for three years.
