As you will learn with Pamplona Free Walking Tours, this town boasts one of the most exciting food scenes of Spain! So tourists can’t leave without tasting fried eggs with chistorra, bull stew, ‘ajoarriero’ or cod. If you want to explore beyond the Old Town, Navarra offers lots of attractions to keep tourists busy for days. Just a short car or bus ride away from the old town, tourists can visit the Fort of San Cristobal. It’s a massive fortress built in the 19th century on a strategic point towering over Pamplona, and you will discover how it was used as a jail during the Spanish Civil War. Yamaguchi Park might well be the most surprising attraction of Pamplona. This stunning 85,000 m2 (21 acres) Japanese gardens were carefully designed as an homage to the city of Yamaguchi, evangelized centuries ago by the Navarrese Catholic missionary Saint Francis Xavier. Pamplona is also the perfect spot to plan your exploration of Navarre's superb natural environment: the Bardenas, Bertiz or Belagua.
