Entertainment, excursions and attractions Pamplona
The architecture of Pamplona is magnificent . First of all, the attention of tourists is attracted by the Gothic cathedral, the construction of which began in 1390, and was completed by 1527. The huge cathedral has two 50-meter towers, one of which has the largest bell in Spain suspended. For many decades now, he has given a wonderful ring to the city and its surroundings.
Interesting and the church-fortress of San Nicolae, the powerful walls of which are an amazing dissonance with its exquisite interior decoration. Do not ignore the building of the archive of Navarra, which has been in the city since the end of the 17th century and carefully keeps many valuable historical documents in its halls, and the royal palace built in the middle of the 19th century. The throne room of the palace is decorated with a portrait of King Ferdinand XVII of the great Spanish painter Goya.
The city itself attracts tourists with its winding picturesque streets, houses of quaint architecture and hospitable, hospitable inhabitants. The panorama of the city is clearly visible from the city walls, and the history of the city and the whole of Navarre can be seen in the Navarra Museum, which is housed in a building built in the 16th century for the hospital.
Feast of San Fermin
Znamenita Pamplona and such a unique attraction, as the holiday of San Fermin, which takes place every year from 6 to 14 July. Within the framework of this holiday you can see the running of bulls through the streets of the city. This happens in the central part of the city with a large crowd of people. Occupied extremals can participate in one of the daily races. Just remember that the injuries are unlikely to become an insurance event.
The event ends with a much safer event, although no less spectacular: a midnight mass in the cathedral . The premises of the cathedral can not accommodate all comers, so thousands of people gather in the square in front of the cathedral and light candles, similar to the sea of fire . At the end of the mass all sing together the anthem of the holiday, and in the morning they start counting down the days until the next San Fermina . This holiday is immortalized by Ernest Hemingway in the book "And the sun rises (Fiesta)" . Hardly anyone something better than a great writer will transfer the drama and tension of San Fermina .

The place in the European football rankings he occupies is not particularly high, but games with his participation at the city stadium of Reynaud de Navarre are always gathered by many fans.
