PAMPLONA
Geographical location
Pamplona, alternative spelling: Iruñea, is the historical capital city of Navarre, in Spain, and of the former Kingdom of Navarre. It sits in the middle of the map of Navarre, on a plateau 449 m above sea level. Pamplona is located in the middle in a rounded valley, known as the “Basin of Pamplona”, which links the mountainous North with the Ebro valley. It covers 23.55 square km.
The climate and landscape of the basin is a transition between those two main Navarrese geographical regions. Its central position at crossroads has served as a commercial link between those very different natural parts of Navarre It is 92 km (57 mi) from the city of San Sebastián, 117 km (73 mi) from Bilbao, 735 km (457 mi) from Paris and 407 km (253 mi) from Madrid.
The city is famous worldwide for the running of the bulls during the San Fermín festival, which is held annually from July 6 to 14. This festival was brought to literary renown with the 1926 publication of Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises.
The same can be said about its culinary offer and the products which are used change from zone to zone in Navarra, depending whether the traveller is in the Pyrenees, near
a river or in the centre of the region, which is characterised by pastureland and green valleys. However, one thing never changes: Navarre boasts generous landscapes and products, a fact which is reflected in the character of its people, regardless of the area.
Another common element is its preference for using totally natural ingredients which give an unmistakable flavour to its dishes: the taste of good food, which captivates the traveller to our land. The crops and market garden produce are now grown in special areas similar to those of the old Kingdom, which was very well-known for its good food. For Navarra Gastronomy Highlights, please visit http://www.rural-pyrenees- guide.com/navarra-gastronomy.html. But, a must in Pamplona is the “Tapas”. Try them and a good wine of our land can be enjoyed with the rest of the senses. http://www.hostelerianavarra.com/ruta_pinchos/.
