Road trip around Spain and Portugal
If you are going to visit Pamplona this is a must stop. We were just driving through on our way to San Sebastián but glad we stopped to have lunch. Loved walking around the old town but the best stop was definitely the tour of the bullring. I am against the whole blood sport but I learned a lot here and it is a large part of Spain's history which is what we came to see. Lots of videos and information and a reasonable cost to get in. You can visit the bullring without having to see an actual bull flight.

A must-see if you are in Pamplona
I lived in Pamplona during the 80s and 90s, so I know the city well. My home was in the old part of the city, just a two-minute walk to the Plaza del Castillo and a further two minutes to the bullring. Like most bullrings in Spain, Pamplona's is architecturally very interesting. But it is most famous for the events of the Fiesta of San Fermines (known to outsiders as the festival of the running of the bulls) which takes place in Pamplona each year from midday on the 6th to midnight on the 14th of July. The first running of the bulls begins at 8am on the 7th and takes place every day from then on. Each run ends in the bullring and it is quite a spectacle to watch. If you have any questions, ask me. I've run with the bulls many times and went to the fiesta each year from 1975 to 1996.
