A day off the bikes, and a beautiful clear day too! As usual,we find that there is too much to see and do in the time allotted. Pamplona has a rich and complex history, with too much for me to go into, but as much as anyone can handle is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamplona From the prominent military past of Pamplona remain three of the four sides of the city walls and, with little modifications, the citadel or star fort. All the mediaeval structures were replaced and improved during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries in order to resist artillery sieges. Completely obsolete for modern warfare, they are used today as parks. Today Penny and I walked to the citadel and walked around the walls. We walked along the city walls enjoying the great views they provided and through the old centre of the city and checked out the Cathedral, with its associated cloister and museum. (there was so much gold leaf in the cathedral!) We checked out the old town and saw the natives at play on a Saturday And of course we saw lots of references to the ‘Running of the Bulls’ (Feast of St Firman), which is coming up in July. And lots of reminders that this is a city with a population that is ready to push the boundaries Today this is a link to the walk around the town - note how little we actually saw!
