Navarre is a land that offers many activities to its visitor. Trekking can be widely practiced in this community because the old routes of seasonal cattle migration and the obsolete railway routes are now being used for this purpose. Many paths are made suitable for this all over the Community, like the ‘Cannadas Reales’ or other green routes. For the persons who wishe to ascend high peaks, guided excursions to the most outstanding mountains in Pyrenees, the ‘Mesa de los Tres Reyes’, are offered.
Activities like cliff climbing, mountain biking, speleology, horse riding, golfing, fishing, hunting or going across Bardenas in a pick up truck are also options to consider during leisure time. On the Navarrese Shore we also can relax at the thermal station of Fitero, to have a rest after long walks or sporting.
Pamplona is the autonomic capital and was founded by Roman general Pompeyo. The city is well-known world-wide cause its San Fermin ‘fiestas’ and its running of the bulls, immortalized by Hemingway´s writings. ‘Sanfermines’ lasts one long week, starting with the ‘chupinazo’ from the consistorial balcony on July 6th, and ending with the singing of "Pobre de mi" during the always nostalgic midnight of July 14th.
During these days the city is transformed into an explosion of wild fun with the arrival of thousands of foreigners who multiply the number of Pamplona citizens. The typical white suits with red shawls give a pretty colorful tone to the ‘fiesta’ that is accompanied by music in the streets. The running of the bulls is, without a doubt, the fair´s main event.
