Inland Spain

INLAND SPAIN

NAVARRE A region of many contrasts. In Navarre you have the first stages of the Way of Saint James, which crosses over from France in Roncesvalles and takes you to Romanesque gems in the towns of Estella and Puente La Reina . Pamplona , the capital of the region, is a delightful city surrounded by an incredi- ble medieval wall. If you come in the sec- ond week of July you can experience the amazing atmosphere during the interna- tionally acclaimed Festival of San Fermín. A time not only for the renowned bull-running, but also the local clubs of run- ners, parading bands and cultural events programmed throughout the city. Autumn is another ideal time to visit this region when delightful towns like Olite celebrate theGrapeHarvest Festival, with activities involving wine, running young bulls, carriage parades and a lot of music.
