Pamplona is the provincial capital of Navarra. The population is approx. 190.000 people. It sits under the shadow of the Pyrennes, about 50 kilometers south of the mountain range, on its west side. If it were not for its famous San Fermin Festival, it would not particularly attract anyone's attention. There are lots of interesting places to visit around the province - Navarra is particularly rich in Romanesque churches and art. If you are in the region do not forget to try the famous cuisine of Navarra and do not hesitate to taste the good red vine. Keep in mind that Iruñea is the name for Pamplona in Euskera-Basque Language.
