After breakfast departure to Navarra, Capital of the Bullruns in Spain. Arrive to Pamplona for Lunch (included). In the afternoon visit to the Casco Viejo or Old City of Pamplona is such a charming historic district. I genuinely loved just getting a little lost and exploring the center of Pamplona, which dates back to medieval times. It is full of narrow streets, old ass buildings, and vibrant plazas that are sure to enchant you! There are a few attractions to keep your eyes out for as you explore the Casca Viejo. The first is Pamplona Cathedral, or the Catedral de Santa María la Real. It lies on the edge of Pamplona’s Old Town and was built between 1394 and 1501. Once inside, you can admire intricate carvings and stunning stained-glass windows. Plus, visitors can climb to the top of the cathedral's tower for panoramic views of the city. Another picturesque attraction in Pamplona’s Old Town is the magnificent Town Hall or Ayuntamiento. Originally built in the 18th century, the Ayuntamiento boasts a stunning Baroque facade and an ornate clock tower that dominates the surrounding plaza. Grab a jamon and queso sandwich at the shop on the corner for an unbeatable lunch view! For a dose of history (and maybe some AC), head into the Museum of Navarre, which is housed in a former hospital and offers a fascinating collection of art and artifacts from the region's past. Exhausted from a long day of touristing about Pamplona? Quench your hunger and thirst with some delicious local food and drink! From Plaza de Castillo, wander down Calle San Nicolás and follow your nose to the best places in town. This busy pedestrian street is absolutely full of restaurants specializing in the region's most iconic food – pintxos. Pronounced "pinchos," these are small- plate dishes typically served on bread, toothpicks, or skewers. Usually eaten as a snack or light meal, they are a staple of Basque cuisine. Be prepared to stand up as you eat, as that’s what the locals do. Arrive to the Hotel for accommodation.

After an ealrly breakfast, prepare yourself to an adventure full of adrenaline. Thanks to the popularity of his novel “The Sun Also Rises”, Ernest Hemingway thrust Pamplona Spain into the global spotlight. The once-local San Fermin festival (also called the running of the bulls) became a full blown international phenomenon that nowadays adorns the bucket list of the world’s most adventurous travelers. The San Fermin festival happens every year in July, attracting thousands of travelers to see the spectacle. At 8 am the doors to the Santo Domingo corral are opened and hundreds of people run ahead of the bulls on a route around the old town to the bullring. This brief, intense race is repeated, taking just three minutes to run the 825-metre route. Rockets are launched to notify runners of the stages of the running: the first rocket when the corral gates are opened, the second when all the bulls have left, the third, in the arena, when the bulls enter the bullring, and the fourth when they are in the bullpens and the running of the bulls is finished. One of the most emotive moments occurs a few minutes before the running of the bulls starts, when the runners ask San Fermín to protect them, singing three times to of a small image located on Cuesta de Santo Domingo. To amuse the children, every morning of the fiestas there is a parade of gigantes y cabezudos (carnival figures) around the city centre. Other events include outdoor dances, concerts, dance performances and, of course, bullfights, which are very lively thanks to the peñas or clubs cheering them on. Arrive to the hotel for a deserved shower, dinner (included) and accommodation.
