Transplanted from Sunny South Africa, I have fallen in love with Pamplona and its beautiful buildings, food and people. I love telling stories about how people and places change each other, with a pinch of salt and humour thrown in. Also I let you in on some of our secrets...
What is the connection between Pamplona and Star Wars?
I could tell you, but you will have to take a walk with me....
My intimate, personal tour takes you along paved streets built on top of a fortress wall, to public squares, while wandering statues and legendary stories enrich the city's history, following in the footsteps of Romans, fallen heroes and a lot of bull, with a viewpoint over a green river valley, so you will be able to live Pamplona's heritage and see it through my eyes.
Being a lover of good gastronomy, I would also love to introduce you to my favourite wintery treat: hot chocolate and churrus. Otherwise a delightful pinxto or three...
My goal is to let you understand why we run in front of bulls, and not behind, but also so you see that Pamplona is more than just the running of the bulls.
Find me in front of the statue of king Carlos 3rd, at the top left side of the plaza del Castillo. I will wear a red bandanna around my neck. I usually wear a smile too...
Centuries-old urban plaza with a central pavilion plus restaurants & bars around the perimeter. There is something hidden from view here...
Tapas, steak & wines in an ornate, storied 1888 cafe with a room devoted to author Ernest Hemingway.
Ornate column, statue & inscriptions commemorating the 1893 protest to defend Navarre's Foral Laws.
Historic Catholic church with roots in the 1100s, featuring a Gothic facade & bell tower.
Centuries-old church with an ornate, gilded interior, housing a statue of the city's patron saint.
Grassy park known for free-roaming peacocks & deer, plus sunset views from the city's ancient wall. There is also the story of the unfortunate statue...
An interesting sculpture in the temporary corral for the 6 fighting bulls
Part of the route that the bulls run on their way to the Bullring
In one of the highest areas of Pamplona’s plateau, Sancho el Sabio ordered the construction in the 12th century of the Palace of the Kings of Navarra, which stands out against the profile of a city whose border is defined by the wall and defense fortress over the meanders of the Arga river. Only the north and west bays remained from the old building, which have been extended with new buildings for the General and Royal Archive of Navarra.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
