BALUARTE
Laconic, sober, almost monastic, the Baluarte rises from the edge of the city's first extension, where the ramparts were torn down in the late 19th century, adjacent to the defensive citadel which was begun in 1571, during Felipe II's reign. The building takes the shape of an L, free of edges or ornaments, sheltering from traffic an immense access square which adjoins the Parliament of Navarre.
Invisible yet present, harmonious yet airtight, modern yet classic, Patxi Mangado's project satisfies the longing of the most curious: more than generate closed contexts, or better yet, more than solving enigmas, it raises curiosity from silent walls that surround the echo of instruments and voices.
UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE

BALUARTE
BALUARTE, IN THE CITY
Pamplona is a medium sized city which has managed to grow while preserving its various historical sites: the medieval town, the Renaissance Citadel, the modernist extension... It is precisely, between the two latter that the Baluarte is located. From here, you can access the city's main landmarks on foot, without the need to use your car.

MURALLA HALL It is probably the most unusual room of the building. Its layout is defined by the remains of the ancient bulwark of San Anton, which gives its name to the building. It was one of the ends of Pamplona's Citadel, built in the 16th and 17th centuries. When the remains discovered when the foundations were being dug out, it was decided to preserve them, creating an exhibition hall where the murmur of history and the winds of modernity coexist in perfect balance.

Pamplona
Founded by Pompey in 75 BC, to whom the city owes its name (Pompaelo), Pamplona is today a modern, welcoming city of around 200,000 inhabitants with a wide range of activi-
ties: strolling along its cobbled streets between centuries-old walls, relaxing in its many parks and terraces, savouring its deli-
cious tapas and visiting historical monuments are just a few of the activities you can enjoy.
This is a well-planned, pedestrian-friendly and totally walkable city. Green zones share space with pedestrianized sections and shopping areas. Pamplona invites you enjoy its parks and stroll through its old quarter at your leisure, and entices you with its delicious gastronomy and popular ‘pinchos’, washed down with excellent wines from the Navarra designation of origin.
It is a green city with a high standard of education and healthcare, yet above all it is a warm city and a land of hospitable people.
Plaza del Castillo. Calle Estafeta.
Pamplona, the capital of Navarre, is a city where modernity and tradition merge together.
A quiet city with emblematic spots marked by the Sanfermines and the Way of St. James; Estafeta Street, where you can sense the tension of the Running of the Bulls and the Romanesque bridge of La Magdalena, at the foot of the ramparts, to welcome the pilgrims.

THE DESTINATION
Pamplona welcomes visitors with a wide range of hotels, hostels, pen-sions and apartments throughout the city. The city is tailor-made for visitors: full of green spaces and free from overcrowding all year round, except from July 6 to 14 when the Sanfermines take place and the city is taken over by a massive party.
Forget about the pressures of eve-ryday life and let time drift by from the comfort of a terrace on Plaza del Castillo at the heart of the historic quarter. It’s such a pleasure to watch the world go by while sampling ta-pas along with a good Navarra D.O.
wine, basking in the warm rays of the sun that light up this colourful square.
The city’s peaceful nature offers an opportunity to experience the route down which the bulls are run dur-ing the Sanfermines, imagining the sense of tense excitement at the Mercaderes corner or the emblem-atic Calle Estafeta.
A visit to Pamplona is rounded off with a wide range of leisure, cul-tural and sporting activities: rock climbing, paragliding, hiking, horse riding, golf...

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this is a semi-desert landscape of 42,500 hectares that stuns and surprises with each new visit. A unique landscape to the south-east of Navarre, near Tudela, it is home to some in-credible natural features.
The erosion of its clay, gypsum and sandstone soils has sculpted whimsical shapes, creating an almost lunar landscape populated with ravines, flat plateaus and lonely hills. It has been a source of inspiration for painters and writers and used as a backdrop for televi-sion commercials, music videos and movies.
> THE IRATI FOREST
This is a medieval forest and the second largest and best preserved beech and fir forest in Eu-rope after Germany’s Black Forest. It is a huge green blanket of around 17,000 hectares that is still in an almost totally unspoilt state. Dense beech forests, pastures, spruce trees and fresh water paint a landscape of bright colours that is transformed with each new season and pro-vides the ideal setting for rambling, hiking and nature-watching.

A gigantic tectonic collapse occurred which led to the opening of a wide corridor between the familiar Sierras of Urbasa and Andía. Meadows and leafy beech woods alternate in this protected area of idyllic landscapes, whose southern edge drops sharply down to the Améscoas Valley, forming an impressive natural viewpoint over the cirque of the source of the River Urederra. You can discover all its secrets on a range of blazed hiking trails, spectacular viewpoints and different information centres.

THE LUMBIER GORGE AND THE ARBAIUN GORGE
These two gorges are very close together and share an Interpretation Centre in the town of Lumbier.
The Arbaiun Gorge is the largest and most impressive gorge in Navarre, with 6 km of stunning vertical walls where a large colony of griffon vultures nests, visible from the balcony overhang of the Iso viewpoint. It is a Nature Reserve and a Special Protection Area for Birds.
The unique feature of the Lumbier Gorge is that it can be traversed from inside thanks to a greenway that runs along the river Irati where in earlier times the first electric train in Spain used to run. Along its 1,300 metres you can watch the soaring flight of griffon vultures from the cliffs, enjoy views of the river whose rushing waters are still carving out the rock, and see the ruins of the bridge which, according to legend, was built with the help of the devil.

THE WAY OF ST. JAMES
The Way of St. James passing through Puente La Reina.
Currently the most well-known access of the French Way is the one that enters Navarre across the Pyrenees via Luzaide/Valcar-los. The route takes you from the Pyrenean landscapes of the north to the plains of the Middle Zone through beech forests, grain fields
and vineyards.
This itinerary abounds in little one-street villages, medieval bridges, great monuments,
landscapes that change
colour with each season, wineries and exceptional cuisine.
The Way of St. James is a religious, cultural and social phenomenon that was born in the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, knights Tem-plar, monarchs, nobles, wizards, giants, princesses, magicians, the poor, knights and pilgrims from all of Christendom have travelled hundreds of kilometres to kneel before the tomb of the Apostle St. James the Elder, son of thunder.
TWO MAJOR ROUTES CROSS THE KINGDOM OF NAVARRE:
El One entering from the Pyrenees via Luzaide/Valcarlos, going through the legendary Orreaga/Roncesvalles, and one from Aragon which passes through Sangüesa.
There are also two minor routes through the community: the Baztan way and the Ebro way.
104
THE DESTINATION
THE KINGDOM OF GOOD FOOD Navarre offers visitors the flavours of yesteryear thanks to a culinary tradition which has been faithfully maintained: making a social event out of each meal.
Popular cuisine employs all the products provided by Navarre's varied landscape. Catering establishments have also achieved international renown thanks to the top quality of local raw ingredients. Navarrese chefs are among the most highly-reputed in nouvelle cuisine.
PRODUCTS FROM OUR LAND AND GOOD FOOD
Navarre's geographic diversity is also reflected in its cuisine. The dairy products and game of the Pyrenees lead to the lamb and wines of the Mid-dle Zone, to conclude with the prolific and exqui-site produce of the Ribera region. And although all the products can be found across the region, each particular area also offers its own specialities.
Some restaurants have earned international re-nown by balancing tradition and modernity, and also thanks to the magnificent quality of local ingredients, several of which are included in pro-tected designations of origin.
One should also not forget the miniature haute cuisine of the local 'pinchos' (tapas) —a popular tradition that, in recent years, has turned into a wide range of innovative, imagi-native, unique morsels which is particularly extensive and var-ied in the capital, Pamplona.
105

NAVARRE COMPLEMENTARY SPACES
The Witches’ Cave
In the heart of the village stands its iconic Museum, located in a refurbished traditional building. It plunges us into the history and leg-ends that have arisen around the harsh process of the Inquisition of the Spanish Church in 1610.This attractive amenity is also an element of identity, a reference point where you can discover the light and shadows of that era. It is an ideal venue for meetings and other special events.There is a comfortable auditorium on the ground floor and a rustic area in the attic. Together with the option of visits to the Witches’ Mu-seum and the imposing cave - 120 metres long by 10-12 metres high – will make your business meeting a unique experience.Tranquillity, authenticity, land-scape, architecture… are all very
present in the atmosphere of Zu-garramurdi. This pioneering rural destination for meetings tourism also puts infrastructure, techni-cal resources and an experienced team at your disposal.Zugarramurdi offers a number of options for meetings involving lunch, with traditional gastronomy being highly appreciated in this area. The Museum is adapted for persons with disabilities, and in the case of the cave we can facilitate access via an alternative path.
“Sorginen Leizea” is an impressive karstic rock formation on the surface located just half a kilometre from the centre of Zugarramurdi.The main cave was cut by a water-course that still flows fast called the Channel of Hell ("Infernuko Erreka" in Basque). It has created a tunnel-sha-ped cave 120 metres long and 22-26 metres wide at the eastern end.Its name evokes the pagan rituals held in some of its chambers in ancient times. Between 1609 to 1614 (during the Spanish Inquisition) they were cited as clear proof that acts of witchcraft occurred in Zugarramurdi.

A WALK WITH HEMINGWAY Ever since the Middle Ages, this
journey has been a pilgrimage and a meeting place. Walking the Way of St. James today is a journey of discovery. Everyone who takes it agrees that "something happens to you." Pamplona is the first city on the Way.
THE WAY OF ST JAMES
The West is neither a civilization nor a geography but a mental territory that represents a viewpoint of humanity based on freedom, solidarity and
human dignity. It is the result of crossbreeding. It was built across the years by encounters between different civilizations: it is rooted in antiquity (Athens, Rome, Jerusalem and the Germanic Spirit) and its construction was based on the Gregorian reform during Medieval Christendom, reach-ing its peak in the Modern era. Discover it in Pamplona Cathedral.

HOW TO GET AROUND NAVARRE
Navarre is an easy region to travel around for a tour-ist. There are four highways that cross the territory from North to South and East to West, as well as several main roads that are ideal for motorcyclists. It is a unique region in Spain that offers mountains, the sea and desert-like landscapes just one hour (or less) from Pamplona. Without a doubt, it offers the greatest variety of landscapes in southern Europe.
For visitors arriving by air, the best option is to rent a car – with or without a driver – or coach travel if you are travelling in a group.
