The medieval kingdom of Navarra has an abundance of monuments and its capital, Pamplona, hosts the world-renowned San Fermín fiesta. Navarra is a land of diversity, from the Pyrenees, to the flat arid lands of ‘La Ribera’ in the South.
The Pilgrim’s Way passes through Navarra, starting at the legendary site of Roncesvalles in the north and ending at the noble town of Vianna in the south west. The world famous Fiesta de San Fermin begins on the 7 July every year. The early morning encierros
(running of the bulls) are a prelude to the afternoon corridas (bullfights), this fiesta has many planned surprises, including a huge fireworks display every night – and many impromptu ones.
PAMPLONA
On the fertile plain of the river Arga sits Pamplona, a city full of history and deep-rooted traditions.
Pamplona is a city in which tradition and modernity live in harmony. In the centrally located Plaza Consistorial square stands the majestic Baroque façade of the Town Hall.
OLITE
It is a Historic-Artistic Site where traces of a Roman and Gothic presence can be found in its walled enclosure and in the splendour of the medieval court of Carlos III in its castle palace. It has two medieval churches: Santa María, Gothic from the 13th century and which has a beautiful façade and a magnificent reredos, is situated partly inside the palace, where it was once the chapel; and San Pedro, the oldest in Olite, with a Romanesque façade and cloister.
