The monument is of six bulls, three bullocks, and ten young men, made of bronze, with a total weight of more than ten tons.

The young men and bulls depict the journey of the running of the bulls over some cobblestones that simulate the pavement on Estafeta and that were made ‘in situ’ once the sculpture was placed.

                               Dos de febrero
                               Tres de marzo
                               Cuatro de abril
                               Cinco de mayo
                               Seis de junio
                               Siete de julio... San Fermín
                              A Pamplona hemos de ir
                              con una media, con una media,
                              A Pamplona hemos de ir,
                              con una media y un calcetín.
