Pamplona
Ernest Hemingway's descriptions of the running of the bulls in his 1927 novel, The Sun Also Rises, made Pamplona world-famous.. Pamplona still hosts the bull running during the Fiesta de San Fermín, but ita is more than just a city where an annual festival takes place. Long the most significant town in Spain's Pyrenean region, it was also a major stopover for those traveling either of two frontier roads: the Roncesvalles or the Velate Pass. Once a fortified city, it was for centuries the capital of the ancient kingdom of Navarre.
