The DNA and the Running of the Bulls

Today, after the Running of the Bulls, a television station interviewed an injured after being he was treated by health services in the street. The runner said: "I have the Running of the Bulls in my DNA." He was so sure and rotund that his expression seemed to indicate that in his DNA Running with the Bulls  could be an identifiable genetic marker. Undoubtedly to his feelings and his experience, his need to run is something higher, a risk that was worth taking for him.

Some people think that Runin front of a Bull is something wild, others consider is an irresponsible ...all arguments have probably their own point of view are reasons. There are people driving at 200 km/ hour without risk perception. In my opinion the perception of risk and actual risk, in general, is well balanced between the runners on the Running of the Bulls. In any case, I have an opinion and a feeling. My opinion is that it is better not to judge anyone and my feeling is that they have to feel something very important as they repeat and repeat. The gored gentleman of 73 years old is thank God out of danger.

Will it be the red or white?, je, je :-)

The first visit to Spain of  Ms. Inge Morath was in the 50's, accompanied by the publisher Mr. Robert Delpire and French writer Ms. Dominique Aubert, so they could photograph the San Fermin Festival. The work done by Morath was published in 1955 in a book entitled 'War à la Tristesse', which was published in French, English and German, but never published in Spain due to the censorship. Pamplona´s City Council paid tribute to her in 1997.

Palacio de Navarre

In the heart of Pamplona, between the Plaza del Castillo and the Paseo de Sarasate, stands the Palacio de Navarre, seat of the Presidency of the Regional Government and a number of administrative offices of Navarre. The complex, designed by José de Nagusia in 1840, is a palatial building in a serious, powerful and solemn neo-Classical style that is surrounded by several columns.

Of the interior the majesty and splendour of the zona noble stands out, with the Throne Room and exuberant decoration as a symbol of power. In the office of the President of the Government of Navarre, another of the most luxurious rooms in the Palace, there are two jewels in particular: a portrait of King Ferdinand VII by Goya, and a large tapestry depicting the great battle of Navas of Tolosa (1212).

The garden contains a giant sequoia, the tallest tree in the city.

Church of San Nicolás

The parish of San Nicolás, which dates from the 12th century, was not created just to offer religious services but, above all, to serve as a military and defensive bastion of the people who lived in the borough of the same name. These people were involved in endless disputes and skirmishes with the other two boroughs in the (Navarrería and San Saturnino). In 1222, during one of these attacks a fire burned the old Romanesque church-fortress to the ground, so it was necessary to build a new one, which was consecrated in 1231. Located in the Old Part between the Plaza de San Nicolás, calle San Miguel and the Paseo de Sarasate, its thick walls and railings, and the only one of its three watchtowers that is still standing are witness to its conflictive past. Venture inside the church, a beautiful example of Gothic, which contains a large Baroque organ, the biggest in Pamplona. On leaving the church you will find yourself in the heart of the medieval city at a crossroads of lively streets full of traditional shops and handicraft centres, a high density of bars and, in winter, warmed by the braziers of chestnut seller.

The Camera of the Comptos

The Cámara de Comptos, built in the 13th century, is the only civil Gothic building that has survived in Pamplona. Declared a National Monument in 1868, it is an essential place to see during a stay in the city.

Located in calle Ansoleaga in the Old Quarter, it was a noble house before becoming what it continues to be today: the seat of the Cámara de Comptos, i.e. the Accounts Tribunal for the Kingdom of Navarre that initially existed between 1524 and 1836. King Carlos II created it in 1365 to improve control over the royal finances.

On the outside of the building we would highlight the pointed arch over the main entrance, the small windows (also pointed) and the coat of arms with the royal arms of Spain. A small passageway covered with a pointed barrel vault gives onto a delightful and peaceful garden with an ancient well in the centre.

It you opt for a guided tour, which takes place every morning on weekdays, you will see coins of the different monarchs of Navarre and financial consultation documents signed by the kings.

Half-moon Park

Around the city centre of Pamplona, in the Segundo Ensanche and at the southern end of the city walls, is the Parque de la Media Luna (literally, "half-moon park"), one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in the city. It owes its name to its design in the form of a waning moon.

A leafy and romantic place, the park has excellent views from its elevated position over the river Arga and the hills beyond. It has a pond with goldfish, a roller skating rink and a wide variety of tree species, including a beautiful giant sequoia. In a corner of the park there is a monument to Pablo Sarasate, the famous violinist from Pamplona.

The Citadel

Together with the Vuelta del Castillo, which surrounds it, the Citadel makes up the great green space in Pamplona, 280,000 square metres in which pavilions, moats, bastions, ravelins, fortifitions, other buildings and gentle slopes are places where the city's inhabitants can relax or enjoy sport or culture. The Citadel, the main architectural focal point in the city of Pamplona, is also considered the best example of military architecture from the Spanish Renaissance and one of the most outstanding defensive fortifications to have been designed in Europe.

The Citadel came into being to protect Pamplona from its enemies following an order by King Philip II in 1571 to start construction work in order to take a stand against the constant incursions of the French army. Its original structure took the form of a regular pentagon, with five bastions in its corners, but the construction of the "Primer Ensanche" (first extension) of the city necessitated the demolition of two of them. The remains of the fort of San Antón came to light during the construction of the Baluarte Congress Centre and Auditorium of Navarre, and were integrated into the design of the building.

Discover the imposing Ciudadela by entering it on foot by the Avenida del Ejército or Vuelta del Castillo.

Chapel of San Fermín

 San Lorenzo

If the streets of Pamplona are the main stage for the world famous San Fermín festival, the Saint's Chapel, situated inside the Church of San Lorenzo, acts as the focal point for the faithful, who meet there to celebrate religious events in honour of the city's patron saint.

The City Council attends the church in full ceremonial regalia on July 6th every year, just a few hours after the chupinazo (ceremonial rocket) that inaugurates the festivity. Vespers of the main day of the fiesta, July 7th, are celebrated with a Mass, the only day of the year when the saint's reliquary, a polychromed, silver-covered wooden sculpture from the 15th century, leaves its home in a chapel of the Church of San Lorenzo to take part in the procession through the old quarter of the city. This takes place under the devoted and emotional gaze of thousands of pamploneses, as well as visitors from all over the world. The chapel then goes back to being a major protagonist in the religious activities of the Octava (Octave, or eighth Mass) which ends the eight-day festival.

On any other day of the year it is customary for locals and visitors to meet on this spot at the end of Calle Mayor (High Street). It is also customary for many engaged couples to want to get married in front of its altar, for which it is necessary to book a date many years in advance.
