      Pamplona/Iruña

      20 April 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      Das erst Mal in Pamplona, da wollte ich immer schon mal hin. Wenn man sich vorstellt wie im Juli die Stiere hunderte von Menschen vor sich hertreiben, jedes Jahr viele Schwerverletzte und bisher 15 Tote aufgespiesst von den Hörnern der Stiere. Aber man kann sich auch ein Foto für 2 Euro machen mit ausgestopften Tieren, ich sag nur: Fiesta😂Baca selengkapnya

      Pamplona, Navarra, Spain

      6 Desember 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F

      Pamplona is home of the famous San Fermin festival, the Running of the Bulls. Hemingway made it famous in "The Sun Also Rises." What was once a small regional festival has turned into a worldwide spectacle every summer. We happened to be here on Constitution Day, a national holiday. We were afraid restaurants and bars would be closed, but we were wrong. The streets were full of Spanish familes on holiday and bars and restaurants were packed. It's nothing like during the San Fermin festival, but we were surprised at how many people were out and about.

      We're at a little elevation now. The drive south from San Sebastian was pretty. We climbed through the foothills of the Pyrenees to get here, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Navarre. And so it's a bit colder. But it wasn't raining on our first day here and we did most of our sightseeing then. We walked along the path that the bulls take, from pens above the Arga River and through the narrow streets of Pamplona, up to the bullring. Lots of shops sold the white pants, shirts, and sashes and bandanas that "mozos" wear when being chased by bulls.

      We were in luck. The bullring is normally only open for the Feria in the summer for about 9 days. The rest of the year it's closed. But they're holding their Christmas market inside and we got to go in and see the ring from the inside. The market was more fun and had more interesting items than the market in the streets of San Sebastian. We walked all over town and had espressos in a cafe. We're 4 weeks into a 5 week trip, so we're slowing down a bit. It's still wonderful to just meander through cobblestone streets and see what a new city looks like. Most shops were closed anyway. That's why we booked a hotel with a sauna and we're making good use of it.

      Today it's rainy and cold all day. I walked around solo after breakfast to explore some more. I invited a guy to share my table at a cafe and he happened to speak English. He was Philipino and was teaching English in Pamplona. He was in his third year teaching and had lived in several cities in Spain. We had a great talk about Spain, travels, and the Phillipines.

      Pamplona is another charming Spanish city, but the weather is taking it out of us. We're laying low and looking forward to taking a train to Madrid tomorrow for our last stop before heading home. Buses are usually much cheaper and faster than trains in the north of Spain, but we found a train that is much faster and worth the extra expense. And it will have a cafe car on it, which I love.

      Pamplona

      21 Oktober 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      I don't know much about Pamplona. It is the capital of the province of Navarre and the venue of the world-famous Spanish bullfight, as a local proudly tells me.
      When I hear this, I get defensive inside, because I have no love for this tradition - I think it's cruel to animals. It is not noble to wound an animal with lances until it is completely exhausted.
      Of course, it's a great achievement when a human being uses tactics and skill to avoid a larger animal like a bull, and this form of bullfighting (without hurting it beforehand) exists - unfortunately not yet in Pamplona. Hopefully that will change soon.

      The most interesting thing about the city is its unusual geography, as it is built on hilly terrain and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area and distant mountains from its hilltop.

      And here's a recipe from my own experimentation:
      Fried Egg Deluxe 🍳⭐️

      Fry the onion in a pan with water. Why not with oil, you ask? Frying oil can only be bought in 1-litre bottles and is used up very slowly, which is why it takes an incredibly long time to transport a large quantity of it around and over all the mountains, which you want to avoid at all costs☝️.
      After a few minutes, add more water and the eggs to the pan. We prevent them from burning by constantly turning them.
      As soon as the eggs are done, add salted peanuts and eat the whole thing with pesto-smeared bread.
      ¡Buen provecho!

      Pamplona

      5 Mei 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      My impression of Pamplona was of a very clean and tidy city. It was Friday, so there were a lot of people on the streets of the old centro. The city was excited about soccer, because in the next day Osasuna, the local team, will play the final of the King's Cup against Real Madri.
      The turism office offers a guided tour to the church of San Saturnino which ended in that day with a choir concert.
      Another amazing thing about Pamplona was the delicious Tapas. Of course I tried them more than once.

      25 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Nachdem ich Biarritz verlassen habe, erreiche ich bald die westlichen Ausläufer der Pyrenäen. Es geht die Serpentinen hoch und noch etwas höher und steuert mich tief hinein in ein Regengebiet. Es regnet aus Kübeln, die Scheibenwischer kommen kaum hinterher. Dann plötzlich ist alles vorbei und mir eröffnet sich ein großartiger Blick über die Berglandschaft und dann bin ich plötzlich in Spanien. Ganz unbemerkt habe ich die Grenze überfahren, lediglich eine spanische Flagge deutet darauf hin. ¡Holá!, Buenos dias España, denke ich mit einem Grinsen im Gesicht.
      Ich muss noch einige Kilometer durch die Berge fahren, die Straßen sind jetzt gut ausgebaut, so dass ich gut voran komme. Dann, nach einer letzten Tunnelfahrt, passiere ich die Ortseinfahrt von Pamplona. Noch ein paar weitere Kilometer und ich stehe auf meinem Platz für die kommenden zwei Tage, der sich unweit der Altstadt von Pamplona befindet.
      Es beginnt wieder an zu regnen, also verbringe ich die Zeit mit anderen Dingen. Am späten Nachmittag bietet sich dann doch noch einmal die Gelegenheit für eine Stipvisite. Meine Güte ist die Stadt voll! Unzählige Menschen sitzen sehr gesprächig auf Bänken auf den Straßen, oder stehen in und vor den zahlreichen Restaurants und Bars. Die schmalen hohen Gassen wirken wie ein Verstärker. Das sollte aber nur ein Vorgeschmack auf den kommenden Tag sein.
      Am Sonntag ist bestes Wetter, strahlende Sonne. Ich laufe erneut in die Stadt, heute schon etwas zielgerichteter, denn gestern habe ich die Stadt ausgiebig erkundet. Heute sind unzählige Menschen auf den Straßen und alle laufen in die gleiche Richtung. Da laufe ich einfach mit und lande bei der Kirche San Fermin Aldapakoa. Hier ist heute der Ausgangspunkt für eine Prozession zu Ehren San Fermins und für mich für einen der schönsten Tage auf dieser Reise.
      Es dauert noch einige Zeit bis es losgeht. Diese Zeit nutzen die Cabezudos (Dickköpfe) und der Reiter auf dem Zaldikos (Pferd) um mit Schweinsblasen, heute aus Schaumstoff, auf die Leute einzuschlagen. Die Menschen haben ihren waren Spaß daran und auch ich bekomme meine Tracht Prügel. Und dann geht es endlich los,
      Die über vier Meter hohen Riesen laufen und tanzen, von einer Person getragen, von Musik begleitet durch die engen Straßen und das Volk läuft mit oder applaudiert. Es herrscht eine großartig, ausgelassene Stimmung.
      Nach der Prozession geht es aber noch weiter, verschiedenste Gruppen laufen jetzt musizierend durch die Stadt und die Menschen tanzen dazu oder singen mit. Bier und Wein fließt in Strömen. Es ist teilweise so voll in den Straßen, dass kaum noch ein Durchkommen ist. Und das alles vollkommen ungestresst. Es ist MEGA und ich bekomme das strahlen nicht mehr aus meinem Gesicht.
      Fast beiläufig kann ich noch erwähnen, dass Pamplona eine der Hauptstationen auf dem Camino (Jakobsweg) ist. Es gibt hier zahlreiche Kirchen und Pilgerherbergen. Die gelbe Muschel auf blauem Grund ist hier allgegenwärtig. Ja, das wäre sicher auch mal ein Ziel, wenigstens einen Teil dieses Weges zu laufen.

      Day 4: To Pamplona

      15 Mei 2023, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 61 °F

      Yea! It was a nice weather day and a really nice hike. Today our hike was (relatively) flat (in other words I never thought I might die doing down ridiculously steep muddy slick trails or supper steep inclines). I’d say any of my friends reading this could have done todays hike. Speaking of friends, we walked with our little Camino family that is falling into place. Rebecka from Brisbane, Linda from Sydney, Dorothy and me. The trail wound through an industrial site then on to trails through wildflower laden pathways and fields of wheat punctuated with red poppies. All in all, it was beautiful. This evening we went and had wine and pinchos at “Iruna”, the bar Hemingway frequented in Pamplona.
      He was even kind enough to pose for a photo with me at the bar.
      Fortunately, Dorothy, while she did not feel well, she felt much better than yesterday and didn’t want to miss out on the day, so she did great. Even so, after multiple 20k hiking days, we’re bushed and are going to take a rest day tomorrow in Pamplona.

      Day 5: A rest day exploring Pamplona

      16 Mei 2023, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 59 °F

      Today we had a well needed rest day in Pamplona. We basically just rested, walked around the old town, took a tour of the Cathedral, and shopped for a pair of hiking pants for Dorothy.
      In retrospect, in the future I think I will just try and plan my stages, so I arrive earlier in the day in the cities I want to explore vs spending an extra night. My feet are ready to move on.Baca selengkapnya

      24 Agosto - Nada de toros por la calles

      24 Agustus 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Ho sempre detto che non esiste persona che non abbia pregiudizi. Me incluso.
      Qual'è l'immagine che il collettivo ha (me compreso) di Pamplona? Molto semplice Pamplona = vecchio paesino = Tori per le strade = encierro de San Fermín.
      Invece no!
      Ieri quando sono arrivato a Pamplona ho trovato una città moderna con grattacieli, strade in città con doppia corsia e controviali, semafori intelligenti, pulizia estrema .
      Del resto è logico, Pamplona è la capitale della regione Navarra con sede di governo regionale, televisioni locali, ecc.

      Ma io vi farò vedere solo le immagini del vecchio cliché.
      Le foto del casco viejo, la strada dove passano i tori.

      Del resto perché distruggere i miti.

      Nota di colore; mentre in Italia imperversano turisti cinesi, russi, arabi , qui era piacevole che la maggioranza dei turisti sono Americani!
      Navarros hay que decir gracias a Hemingway.

      Day 05 - Pamplona -> Puente la Reina

      6 Mei 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      The stage between Pamplona and Puente la Reina is beautiful and interesting. A few kilometers after leaving the city, you start walking among large grain fields. After the village of Zariquiegui we reach the Alto del Perdón, one of the most emblematic symbols of the Camino de Santiago. In addition, in the village of Muruzábal, we can make a 2.5 km detour in order to admire the Ermita de Santa Maria de Eunate, in Romanesque style and that is believed to have been built by the Knights Templar.Baca selengkapnya
