The excitement you feel your first time in Pamplona during the San Fermin Festival is something almost indescribable.

Pamplona, situated in the Northern Spanish province of Navarra, attracts thousands of visitors annually from the 6th to the 14th.

Of July. They come to enjoy the celebrations for San Fermin, the patron saint of the city, but mostly they come to see the Running of the Bulls or "Encierro" made world famous by avid visitor and adopted Pamplonica, the writer Ernest Hemingway. The history of how this particular run, for there are many throughout Spain, evolved is actually quite simple.

The best-known ones are to be found in the old part of town. La Perla has long been associated with Hemingway. The Yoldi, near the old quarter, has long been associated with the bull-fighters and their entourage; the toreros used to go there. The Maisonave and the Europa are both to be found within the old part of town.

The former has an underground parking lot. It must be remembered that all these hotels are very close to all the action going on in the old part and if you are a light sleeper and seek some peace and quiet then it might be better to look for an hotel further out in the newer suburbs. Suburbs like SAN JUAN-ERMITAGAÑA or ITURRAMA all have hotels of modern construction. In the surrounding towns there are some good hotels which won't have put up their prices as dramatically as Pamplona and which will be a good deal quieter. These hotels should be booked well in advance. Listed below are some of the hotels where you can give a needed rest to your post-partying body. Barcelona. 1.
