🌿 TYPE OF TRIP

Leisure and gastronomy.

🤔 BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO NAVARRA

In spring, coinciding with Holy Week and pilgrimages. Or in summer, patron saint festivals and the famous San Fermín festival.

✔ WHAT TO DO IN NAVARRA

In addition to visiting Pamplona and the Navarrese Pyrenees, we give you 3 recommendations:

1. Visit the Bardenas Reales Natural Park. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2000, it offers a dry landscape of flat hills, gravel plains and winding gorges that covers 410 km2 in southeast Navarre.

2. Don't miss Estella, known in medieval times as 'La Bella' for the splendor of its monuments and buildings. Its historic center still retains all its charm.

3. Finally, don't leave Navarre without visiting the Sierra de Aralar: this impressive mountain range is one of Navarre's many natural parks and offers pleasant excursions and spectacular driving routes.

🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE NAVARRA WITHOUT TRYING IT

If you want to sample the typical dishes of Navarre, you must try the famous piquillo peppers stuffed with cod, Navarrese asparagus, and artichokes with clams. For dessert, we recommend fried milk, cream-filled pastries, and the "Trenza del Reyno" (Kingdom Braid).

👁🗨 CURIOSITIES OF NAVARRA

San Nicolás Street in Pamplona is only 190 meters long, but it's packed with 21 bars. That's why the locals like to say it's the street with the most bars in the world, and they use a Joaquín Sabina song to illustrate the point: the singer says that "there are more bars in Antón Martín alone than in all of Norway," but on that Madrid street there's a bar every 9.28 meters, so the Pamplona street has even more.

😎 MISS WOOD'S TIP

Don't miss visiting the coast and check out the Basque beaches of Zarautz and Hondarribia.
