Quick info
Caminos de Santiago de Compostela (French Way)
Navarra is a land of astonishing diversity, a 'kingdom' of contrasts that extends from the majesty of the Pyrenees to the arid plains of the banks of the Ebro. In the north, the intense green of its valleys and the lushness of the Irati Forest, one of the largest beech-fir forests in Europe, offer an idyllic landscape. In the south, the landscape is radically transformed into the Bardenas Reales, a semi-desert area of overwhelming beauty. Its capital, Pamplona, is a quiet and green city that every July explodes into an explosion of universal celebration with the Sanfermines. Navarra is also a land of passage and history, a fundamental stage of the Camino de Santiago, dotted with monasteries, castles and medieval towns with a special charm. Visiting Navarra is discovering landscapes that seem to be from different continents in a few kilometers, enjoying cuisine based on the excellent vegetables from its garden and feeling the history of an ancient kingdom.
