フスラペニャ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

During the Pamplona bullfight, young men in particular risk their health and sometimes their lives. Despite protests from animal rights activists, the "Sanfermines" festival attracts millions of people every year. Around 6,000 bulls are said to have died in the arena over the past 100 years. Since 1911, a total of 16 deaths have been linked to the Pamplona bull runs and fights.

The centre of the ''Plaza do Castillo'' has been occupied since 28 June 1943 by an 18-metre-high bandstand raised on a stepped drum and whose dome is supported by Ionic columns. Previously, there was a wooden one that replaced the Beneficencia fountain in 1910, the work of Luis Paret, known in Pamplona as "La Mariblanca", which currently adorns the city's Taconera gardens.

Beautiful charming and ancient bridge over which the Santiago de Compostela trail passes.

Beautifully restored city gate through which all Santiago de Compostela walkers pass. Even the mechanism to open and close the gate is still there (with counterweights).

An almost authentic pilgrimage on the Frances, because this is where streams of pilgrims came to the city in the Middle Ages. One of the impressive walls of the fortified city and here you can also see the silver Bicigrino symbols embedded in the ground that lead to the exit: a great feature!

First section of Via Verde de Plazuela. We leave Pamplona suburbs. First part on a new road, a very quiet conventional circuit, at some point we will have to be careful because we cross some road although with little traffic, the average route passes through a road parallel to the old national road where we go through a tunnel that is shared with vehicles, regulated by traffic lights, to cross two imposing rock formations known as The Two Sisters, while we border both sides of the river. The route gains as we advance, gaining splendor in the last 5-8 km. where it fully follows the old train path, surrounded by vegetation, for about 3 km. Before reaching Lekunberri, a waterfall and springs that come down from the mountain stand out. Easy circuit, although at some points there are some slopes that we then have to go down.

Imagine yourself on a horse and living in the Middle Ages... entering this gate... what will happen to you?

"Although this is the most populous city on the Way of St. James, crossing it is relatively pleasant. We enter the old town directly, are led through it to the Citadel Park and quickly leave the city again after a short stretch through the new town." (Text source: Cordula Rabe in "Camino Frances. Spanish Way of St. James from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela", Rother Verlag)
