Located only 8 km from Pamplona, Bodega Otazu lies nestled in a small valley crossed by the river Arga and surrounded by the sierra del Perdón and sierra del Sarbil. The origin of the winery dates back to 1840 when the first French-style winery was built in Navarra. The ancient building has now been turned into a wine museum and contemporary art center, and has been equipped with the very last winemaking and bottling technologies. Architectonically speaking, its spectacular underground cellar stands out, internationally known as the “Wine Cathedral”. The entire wine range is exclusively produced with the grape varieties grown in this single-estate vineyard of 116 hectares: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Berués. Bodega Otazu is one of the 19 Spanish wineries which were given the Pago Appellation of Origin, guaranteeing the selection as well as the unique and outstanding personality of each of its wines.

The Cathedral itself is worth the visit, but most people bypass the museum, which won awards for its design and curation. Truly worth a visit. Once a day (115am, in the winter), visitors are brought up the bell towers and it is worth the short climb for the spectacular view. It is also an interesting way to begin your tour of the museum, which includes the cloisters and the cathedral.

The Bardenas Reales is a arid desert region that was named a Natural Park in 1999 and incorporates 45,000 hectares of landscapes whose vegetation and rock formations are unique in Europe. The most famous landmark is the Castildetierra. It's landscapes were also famously used as backdrops for "Spaghetti Westerns" filmed in the 1950s. In 2000, it was declared a Biosphere reserve by UNESCO.

Bardenas Reales is special ... a must visit! It's not evident finding information to visit it yourself by car. So drive to the tourist center finca de Aguilares Carretera del Parque Natural in Arguedas. Folow the road to the park and keep driving till you meet a building and the road stops. There you can go left or right on a paved road. We suggest to go to the right. Follow the road and make a marvellous tour in this beautiful area. You need about 90 minutes for this trip. We liked it very much. Normal car is ok, but a lot of dust ... so washing is needed.

You must book and try to get there early to avoid too many people. Very nice walk and fascinating waterfalls and pools - eerie blue water. An easy walk with plenty of viewing platforms. A few places to have coffee in the village too!

We walked around the city walls from the Museum of Navarra and on to the Citadel. It was a really enjoyable and invigorating experience. We had lovely views over the river and the very green landscape that is this city from the (very formidable) old walls, walked between majestic matures, trees and past flower gardens in full bloom and then an 'urban farm' with deer, swans, turkeys, geese and other domestic fowl wandering around. After a while we reached the extraordinary and vast old defensive site of the Citadel (in the 16th century it was a a full pentagon, now it's half a pentagon). Here the land-use pattern changes as inside the citadel is more expansive and open. As well as functioning as an open-air art gallery, the citadel is a recreational space for locals, walking their dogs, relaxing on the benches or the lawns, or maybe teaming up for scratch games of football. No doubt it is now a great asset for this beautiful city,
