Hotels in Pamplona, Navarra, Spain |
| Pamplona - the capital city
of Navarre, Spain, located 92 kilometres from the town of San Sebastián,
and 407 kilometres from Madrid. Pamplona is famous for the San Fermín
festival, on July 7, also known as The running of the bulls or 'encierro'.
Ernest Hemingway made this feature of Pamplona famous in his writings and
was duly honored by having a street in the city named after him, Avenida
de Hemingway. The city itself is very green: together with the old
section of the city, which hosts the San Fermín festival, with its
cobbled streets, it is a pleasant tourist destination. Pamplona has
maintained the medieval layout of the town, including a star fort, but
expanded to include suburbs in the past 100 years. The city is home to
two universities: the Universidad de Navarra, founded by Opus Dei in 1952,
and the Universidad Pública de Navarra, created by the government
of Navarra in 1987. |
