Navarra

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.
