| Navarra is a region
in Northern Spain bordered by France, the Basque Country, Aragon, and La
Rioja. Both Spanish and Basque (Español and Euskera) are official
languages in Navarra. Spanish
Major cities in Navarra:
Pamplona - Made famous by Ernest Hemingway in 'The Sun Also Rises.'
It hosts the festival of San Fermin, with the running of the bulls (el
encierro) which is celebrated every year for a week beginning on 7 July
7.
Tudela is the second
largest city in Navarra with a population not higher than 40,000 people.
Tudela is 94 km (60 miles) far from Pamplona, it's linked by a good highway
and there are good connections by bus and train. It's used to be a big
center of vegetables production although industry has been developed in
the city. It has a beautiful cathedral from the Romanic and Gothic period.
The climate of Navarre mixes
influences from the Pyrenees mountains and Ebro river valley, creating
a great difference between the climates of the north (much more humid and
with frequent rainfall) and of the south (more Mediterranean with higher
temperatures and more sporadic precipitation). One can pass from the humid
Cantabrian valleys in the north to the arid, steppe-like Bardenas Reales
on the banks of the Ebro river in just a few kilometers.
