PAMPLONA

Hi guys!

I visited Pamplona a couple of times and i really love it, so i would like to show you one of the most beautiful cities in Spain.

Located in the north of Spain, PAMPLONA (팜플로나 ^o^) is the historical capital of the kingdom of Navarre. you've probably heard about this city is famous worldwide for the Festival of San Fermín. Held in July 6th to 14th, in which the running of the bulls is one of the main attractions for thousand of tourist.
But right now i'd like to focus more in the historical heritage of the city..

The old town of Pamplona is very beautiful, it can be considered almost a fairytale landscape, with the walls of the fortress, gardens.. In my opinion is better for tourist discover the city in spring or autumm, the landscape is more charming and the ambient is more quiet. 

The oldest part of the old city is called Navarrería, which corresponds with the Roman city. In a pleasant walk you can find several important church such, the Gothic Cathedral, built in the 14th century with an outstanding cloister and a Neoclassical façade. Saint Sernin Church and Saint Nicholas Church, both built during the 13th century.

Walking around the narrow streets of the old town you do not forget to enjoy the windows of small Antiques shops and bakeries! you will be led by the smell of the sweets and freshly bread baked. In my last trip people were waiting outside to buy madeleines and Churros because the bakery was really small. Also you can find several souvenir shops, bars where you can find delicious pintxos (tapa).
In Pamplona Tapas are not free.

Pamplona has many parks and green areas, you can find nature everywhere


The Citadel, the main architectural focal point in the city of Pamplona, is also considered the best example of military architecture from the Spanish Renaissance and one of the most outstanding defensive fortifications to have been designed in Europe.

Nowadays is a public park, closed to traffic, with generous lawns and a network of paths. fountains, benches for a sit-down, a small children’s play park and some thirty, different species of tree.

Together with the Vuelta del Castillo, which surrounds it, the Citadel makes up the great green space in Pamplona, 280,000 square metres in which pavilions, moats, bastions, ravelins, fortifitions, other buildings and gentle slopes are places where tourists and locals can relax or enjoy sport or culture.
In fact, when i went there on weekend morning I saw many people practicing martial arts in the grass, running around the paths.. I really enjoyed it.

Other site that you do not miss to visit is The Park of La Taconera, was created in around 1830, is the city’s oldest and most beautiful park. Located near the center of the city and I'll recommend you visit it, lots of people go there for wedding pictures because is very lovely place full of flowers, wonderful statues and there is also a small zoo enclosure with deer, ducks, rabbits and peacocks. There are many families and couple who go there to feed the animals
