Quick info
Riverside Vegetables
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.
Flavors of Navarre
Navarrese gastronomy is a product cuisine, based on the extraordinary quality of the vegetables from the 'Ribera garden', the meats from its mountains and the influence of Basque cuisine on the 'pintxo' culture.
Must-Try Dishes
Riverside Vegetables
The jewel in the crown. Try the **Asparagus from Navarra** (white, thick and tender), the **Piquillo Peppers from Lodosa** (small, red and wood-roasted), and the **Artichoke from Tudela**.
Pintxos
As in the Basque Country, going for pintxos is a tradition, especially in the old town of Pamplona. Estafeta Street and Plaza del Castillo are nerve centers.
Chilindrón Lamb
A tasty stew of chopped lamb, cooked in a sauce based on peppers, tomato and garlic. A comforting dish full of flavor.
Ajoarriero
A traditional recipe based on crumbled cod, cooked with a sauce of peppers, tomato, garlic and potato. It is a versatile dish that can be eaten as a tapa or as a main dish.
Navarre-style trout
Trout from the rivers of the Pyrenees, opened and grilled with a slice of Serrano ham inside. A simple and delicious combination.
Roncal Cheese and Idiazabal Cheese
Two cheeses with Designation of Origin. Roncal, made with raw 'latxa' sheep's milk, is intense and slightly spicy. Idiazabal (shared with the Basque Country) can be found natural or smoked.
Typical Drinks
Pacharan
The most representative liquor of Navarra. It is a reddish digestive drink made by macerating sloes (the fruit of the blackthorn) in aniseed brandy. Served cold.
Navarra Rosé Wine
Navarra is famous for its rosé wines, traditionally made from Grenache grapes using the 'bleeding' method. They are fresh, fruity wines with an intense and characteristic color. It also produces excellent red (Tempranillo, Graciano) and white (Chardonnay) wines.

Travel advisory
Navarra has a great climatic diversity. On the same day you may need warm clothing in the Pyrenees and light clothing in the Ribera. If you visit Pamplona during Sanfermines, it is essential to book accommodation well in advance and be prepared for massive crowds. Access to some areas of the Irati Forest and the Bardenas Reales may be regulated in high season to control capacity.
