He later died of his injuries at a local hospital, reports the BBC.

Onda City Council has announced that it has canceled all bull running events during the festival, but other activities will continue.

This is reported to be the first death in Spain since the restrictions on Covid-19 were relaxed in early summer, giving the green light to bull running.

However, only a few such events have taken place since the summer, as there is a debate in Spain as to whether they should be abolished altogether.

Bullfighting has long been part of Spanish culture. Similar events are taking place in France and Portugal.

During the event, crowds of participants run in front of a group of bulls that are released in a part of the city. Injuries are common in bull races.

It has been reported that at least 16 runners have died during the festival since 1910.
