The Town
Discover Pamplona
Pamplona, the vibrant capital of Navarra, presents itself as the first major city on the Camino Francés, offering pilgrims an stimulating mix of history, culture and modernity. Worldwide known for its San Fermín festivals, the city invites walkers to a well-deserved rest and to explore its impressive old town, surrounded by a perfectly preserved Renaissance-style walled complex. Walking along the encierro route, from the Cuesta de Santo Domingo to the bullring square, is an almost obligatory experience. The social heart of Pamplona is the Plaza del Castillo, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. For pilgrims, the majestic Cathedral of Santa María la Real is a fundamental spiritual stop. Additionally, the city is full of services: numerous hostels, specialized shops and an exceptional gastronomic offer, where famous street food like pinchos from the Estafeta Street stand out. Pamplona is a turning point on the Camino de Santiago; a place to recharge, immerse yourself in rich Navarran culture and share experiences with other pilgrims before tackling the climb up Alto del Perdón.
