Yesterday we visited Pamplona a lovely city with lots of lovely character.

 

We had lunch in the central square, again it was about 37 degrees!! Even the locals are complaining about the heat.


All the old fellas were out sitting in the shade putting the world to rights.




Pamplona is famous for it's bull run, but I didnt want to see it, the photos everywhere were bad enough.  Poor taunted bulls.

This monument to the bull run is beautifully made and captures the atmosphere and moment very well.


Below is a huge bull we saw on a hill on the side of the motorway.




Pamplona Cathedral, not only is it a wonderful building, it was gorgeously cool inside too.




Keystone Cops


All around the city people have these bulls on their balconies.


This is the Bull Ring, it is the oldest reinforced concrete building in Spain.
Unfortunately not open though.




Above are heads over one of the entrances to the cathedral

 
Lovely colourful apartments
