Travel Guide

Destination in northern Spain, capital of the autonomous community of Navarre, Pamplona is famous for its San Fermín festivals, the second week of July, which see spectacular bullfights in the streets, pursued by brave runners. For the occasion, thousands of participants from all over the world, dressed in white and red, flocked to the city. And these are days of conviviality and jubilation animated by bands and peñas. We feast on caldico broth, chocolate and churros as the giants and big heads march past. Every night, the sky lights up with fireworks. In addition, Pamplona is an important stopover on the unmissable Route of Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims and tourists meet when visiting Santa Maria Cathedral (14th-15th centuries) or in front of the imposing San Nicolás church. Pamplona's tourist guide also takes you on a journey of discovery of a rich heritage, with the Town Hall, the Museum of Navarre and a host of squares and streets with magnificent palaces, chapels and monuments, not to mention the 5 km of fortified medieval walls. To get some fresh air, several remarkable sites including the Yamaguchi Park, a Japanese garden and the Arga Park with large trees, gardens, jetties, medieval bridges and old mills, nestled in the meandering river. In addition, the romantic Media Luna park with its alleys lined with tall trees, with a view and a very pleasant café terrace. Of course, you will enjoy delicious tapas.
