In the centre of the Autonomous Community of Navarre, on a plain surrounded by mountains, lies Pamplona, the capital of the Ancient Kingdom of Navarre.

Founded in 75 B.C. by the Roman general Pompey on the ancient Vascon settlement of Iruña, it has been crossed by several cultures throughout the centuries and has always been an important stopping point on the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela.

Nowadays, with a population of almost 200,000, it is a welcoming, modern city with many large parks that is full of corners with charm and history.

The Old Quarter, surrounded by walls and watched over by towers and belfries, is a medieval city of narrow streets, small squares, churches and noble houses.

Go deeper into the city and its stones will tell you its history. Feel the hospitality of the people of Pamplona, first take a stroll around the city walls and then taste its pinchos (tapas) and its rich cuisine. Ignore tourist clichés; let yourself be enchanted by a historic city that has turned its main festivity, the Sanfermines, into a synonym for the word 'fiesta' all over the world.
