Town hall is a beautiful old building in the way to everything in Pamplona. When we were there they were celebrating Gay Movement Week or something and Madrid was the hostess to lead it and all the Town Hall is Spain had the Rainbow flag and at night the rainbow lights. Pamplona 's town hall looked beautiful. In front they have concerts and the running of the bulls pass right in front. Quite a place to see

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,

This is a a really nice park with loads of benches to have a sit and relax. It is also beautifully kept in a formal style. Well worth a visit.

Recently the tourist office now organizes guided tours around the old town or the old city walls. We did the one in Spanish “Pamplona al completo”. Adults costs 9 euros each, plus getting the Pamplona tourism card for 1€, while our 7 year old was for free. The tour guide, Ana, clearly showed her love of the job and of the city, providing so much insightly knowledge on the city, the 3 buroughs and the San Fermin festival. We went along the San Fermin route then up to the Navarra archives, followed by the French gate, the Redin, the Cathedral (right after the “Get out if you can” street), finishing up in the Plaza del Castillo. Well worth the 2 hour walk through town. You’ll find information and maps of the city and region in the tourist office, mostly for free. Very helpful.
