Pamplona is a city full of history and tradition. It is ideal for completing a Spanish course. The plazas, streets, monuments, churches and medieval walls that make up its Old Town are well conserved and make for a magical atmosphere.
However, Pamplona seamlessly marries tradition with modernity. Its baroque style Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) is a must see. One can also admire the gothic church San Saturnino that rests next to it. Along the main street you reach the church of San Lorenzo, which is home to the baroque chapel of San Fermín.
Another point of interest is the Plaza del Castillo, which is surrounded by beautiful trees and buildings. El Palacio de Navarra was constructed in the mid-14th century and still conserves its neoclassical design today. Highlights of the building’s interior include the Salón del Trono, baroque in style, the altarpiece of the Chapel, as well as a portrait of Fernando VII painted by Goya.
The Cathedral of Santa María la Real is another stunning piece of historic architecture. It also has 3 gothic naves, as well as other neoclassical ones. The central nave hosts the Mausoleum of King Carlos III the Noble. The main altar can be found next to the image of the Virgin Santa María la Real, in front of which the Monarchs of Navarra took their oaths in the coronation ceremony.
The wider city possesses many green spaces: the Parque de a Cuidadela, Parque de la Taconera and the Jardines de la Media Luna are some examples of the exemplary urban expansion that the city has undergone.
You can also enjoy a fine gastronomy in Pamplona. In any of the restaurants one can enjoy tasting typical products from Navarra; above all vegetables, such as beans, asparagus and peppers. The roast pork or Chilindrón is one of its signature dishes, always well accompanied by a wine from Navarra or pacharán, a typical aniseed based dessert liquor.
Without a doubt, most of Pamplona’s fame is due to its San Fermín festival and the bull run, which takes place on the hill of Santo Domingo and continues along the street Mercaderes, up to the Estafeta street, which opens out onto the Plaza de Toros. If you are considering participating in the event, make sure you are in good shape and take certain precautions. Only enter the race in permitted areas of access, stay within the designated route and, of course, avoiding getting close to the bulls!
