The gatherings include one in which the people of Navarre pay homage to San Francisco de Javier, their patron saint, on the first Sunday in March.

Pamplona Airport is five kilometres from the city of Pamplona.

The Carnivals in Navarre are well worth seeing, original and brightly coloured, with people dressed in regional costumes. The Carnavales de Lanz, Alsasua, Ituren and Zubieta, at the end of January and coming to a climax in February, are most popular.

Navarre has a wealth of customs and traditions: carnivals, dances, rural sports, pelota, cows and txaranga (traditional festivities in the streets), jotas (Aragonese dance with typical music) and much more. And, of course, the Running of the Bulls: at San Fermín sheer madness overcomes the streets, bringing out indescribable emotions. At 12 midday on 6th July, thousands of young people meet in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Many other people from around the region come together in the Plaza del Castillo and nearby streets to cheer when the 'Viva San Fermín, Gora San Fermín' rings out and the Chupinazo is set off.

Welcome to Pamplona, a friendly and simple city which harmoniously combines ancient and modern features. With 190,000 inhabitants, it offers a wonderful quality of life, with no traffic jams or pollution, and has wonderful facilities.

Pamplona is splashed with beautiful patches of green, but there is none quite like Yamaguchi Park: it covers 85,000 square metres in one of the most modern areas of the city.

As you explore its historic centre, you will see “the Three Pamplonas”; the Burgos de "San Cernin” and “San Saturnino”, “San Nicolás” and "Navarrería” which dominate old Pamplona.
