Known the world over for the running of the bulls in the San Fermin fiestas in early July, Pamplona is well worth a visit whatever time of year. A wealthy city of great parks, most notably that inside the ancient citadel, and grand avenues here you will find great shopping and bars as well as fine museums and art galleries most notably the Museum of Navarra and the Oteiza Museum. Pamplona, at the heart of Navarra, also boasts a fine gastronomy, closely linked to the neighbouring Basque cuisine yet with its own character with the finest market garden produce and of course the fine wines for which the region is now famous.
