Pamplona, the capital of Navarra, is a pretty laid back city. There is a constant, steady flow of visitors, many of whom are pilgrims or hikers doing the Camino de Santiago (Route of St. James). The city is very easy to navigate and almost every place of interest can be found within the well-preserved medieval city center and is within walking distance from the Plaza del Castillo (Castle Square). Pamplona is proud to have a beautiful Old Town, which is definitely the nicest part of the city and also where visitors spend most of their time. The Old Town was once surrounded by a defensive wall and some sections of it can still be seen today. The stone-paved streets of the Old Town are mainly for pedestrians and wind their way through the historical heart of the city, between medieval churches, palaces and, of course, plenty of bars and restaurants. It hosts one of the world´s biggest parties, the festival of San Fermín, where the exhilarating "Running of the Bulls" takes place.
