From the receptionist to the guide to the safety kayakers, the staff were super friendly and professional. The team put so much effort into having fun and keeping everyone safe. You could see how much they all loved their jobs. The river was incredible and the views were epic. We really enjoyed our white water rafting experience 🙂

My review of UR Pyrenees My family and I just had an amazing time at UR Pyrenees. My eight-year-old son absolutely loved it, and we both had a fantastic experience. From start to finish, the organization was flawless. Everything was perfectly arranged, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the incredible activities and stunning scenery without any stress. Thank you so much to the entire team for a truly unforgettable holiday. If we ever return to Spain, we'll definitely be back for another adventure with you.

Love to raft with Iño! Very professional, made us feel very safe.

We did a kayak tour and it was awesome. The guide/instructor was very friendly, helpful and professional. Because it was low season we had a private guide. Would recommend this place to anyone

I went with my son who’s 8 years old. We had such a great experience with good guidance of Ricardo! Hé had such a positive vibe. We realy had the time of our lives! Stil waiting on the photo’s though..

Very professionals!! Amazing rafting instructor (Ibai). We had a really good time

Super cool way to see the canyons, rafting down the river!

This a geomorphological experience not to be missed if you are in the Basque country. La Verna is a HUGE natural space deep underground. EDF drilled an access tunnel to try and harness the subterranean river but it was found that there wasn't enough hydrological pressure and the project was abandoned. Now visitors can easily access the cave by way of this tunnel. The original access to the cave was by a 1000ft shaft. It is possible to have guided caving tours that start from the big chamber. These trips range from 3-8 hours. I did one of these caving trips 10 years ago. It was brilliant!

This was truly wonderful experience! Just keep it at that. Take any of the tours, they will all take you to the most beautiful part. It's so big! And so unexpected! Really the thing to do if you are in the neighborhood

It was an unforgettable experience. Not to be missed. The guide was excellent, and spoke good English, however, if you are not a very fluent French speaker much of the technical detail will be lost to you, but this will not detract from the enjoyment of this spectacular natural phenomenon. We took the 'River' tour, I am in my mid 70's and have very weak knees, I had no particular difficulty with the "80 irregular stone steps". There are lots of rope hand rails, although when they are wet they can be slippery - gloves with 'grippy' palms could be usefully. The basic tour to the main gallery is definatly accessible to wheelchair users. Unless you are an athlete, or a rally car driver - TAKE THE SHUTTLE BUS from the 'ticket office' to the Grotto entrance. But do go if you can.

Very exciting experience! A really knowledgeable guide, and a nice extensive hike all the way down to the cave river. The trip I took - the river tour - was great but did involve a lot of hiking on slippery rocks, so probably not for individuals with disabilities or injuries. The rest of the cave is very accessible for everyone, though!Mesmerizing and would definitely recommend!

My husband and I did the Cavalier/Knight sporting adventure here and I absolutely loved it. The office staff, especially Berenice, were all so patient and lovely while working with them over email. We have never spelunked before so I had zero expectations and I was blown away. Our guide was great, I do wish we spoke French as his English (still better than my French) was minimal but he was explaining a lot about the caves to the other patron. The actual event was fantastic. You do need to be physically active, in decent shape and have good body awareness. They provide a waterproof jumpsuit and thick rubber boots, along with a helmet with a headlamp and a harness to clip into in several dicey areas. The sights and sounds of the caves aren't able to truly be captured by camera but they will be lifetime memories for me!

A stunning, cathedral-sized underground cave, inside a hill. There is a waterfall inside, which is different! There is a long walk (2 or 3 km), to reach the cave, via a tunnel which has been blasted into the hillside (reasonably well lit and level floor and they provide a helmet to prevent you banging your head on the ceiling. The guide is French, but can also speak English, which is useful. Well worth a visit.

10th biggest undergound cave in the world and largest in Western Europe. Truly massive scale. One can book the standard 1h visit or some longer exploratory tours of up to 4 hours. It is a truly different experience to spend a couple hours in a dark and quiet world, like being somewhere else.

Nice walk through the gorge. Good place to visit on a hot day as the gorge stays nice and cool. Strongly recommend taking a picnic to eat by the river too. The route is a linear walk so the route back is along the same narrow path - which causes some congestion in places. It can also be slippy in places so good shoes recommend and there are numerous rocky and irregular parts which could cause difficulties for less sure footed visitors. Hardest part is first/last short but fairly steep climb from the lake below the restaurant over and into the gorge on wide woodland path. There are two carparks just before the entrance at the Cascades restaurant and limited roadside parking outside the entrance itself with a refreshments cabin. On arrival to the entrance, you first have to pay the entrance fees in the restaurant/shop and tickets are then collected at the cabin by the entrance gate. A short descent on a track then takes you to a picnic area by a lake and a cabin where you borrow a hardhat helmet for your visit (no extra charge) if you want one. Recommended visit. Especially on a hot day.

Absolutely loved this walk! I was not bored at one point during this because there are lost of steps and bumps and also the views are stunning! Blows everything I’ve seen in the UK out of the water! Above the waterfall there is a cave which I saw someone go in. BUT it’s very busy most days. It might be just because it is August, but you may end up parking on the verges and we got stuck. Bring some stuff just in case!

Beautiful gorge with very green cliff walls on both sides. Total distance from car parking area to the end of the gorge and back was approximately 11km. Took my family around 4 hours for a very relaxed tour. If you want to do the whole trip, then don't wear flip flops. Water in the river is very clear and fresh aka cold :-).

Lovely to visit. Not too difficult, though it was slippery when we were there. When busy is is a nightmare as the passage way is small. But we'll worth a visit!

What a great place to spend an afternoon, a couple of steep ups and downs so proper shoes recommended... we all thoroughly enjoyed it, lunch was good value as was the entrance cost

Thoroughly enjoyed this walk through the gorge. Although board walked it’s still a strenuous walk and was great with the kids in backpacks. Young kids may struggle to walk all the way as it’s 2km. Don’t bother with the grotto at the end other than looking at the super clear water at the entrance

Breathtaking! The river flows from a huge underground cave - la Verna.

It's a magnificent palace to visit. A short guided tour reveals the history of this noble place.

Excellent town to visit and excellent tourist office. The guided walking tour of the town is really worth the while

Nice place except for the front office staff.

Good

(Translated by Google) I would like to give an opinion of the complex and not just of a palace, no matter how historically important it may be for our country. The town deserves to be among the top positions of the most beautiful towns, it oozes history through all its streets and alleys. It is literally impressive, just a piece of advice regarding the restaurants, being a town visited during the day does not mean having an expensive restaurant only oriented towards tourism. (Original) Me gustaría dar una opinión del conjunto y no sólo de un palacio por mucha importancia histórica tenga para nuestro país. El pueblo merece estar entre las principales posiciones de los pueblos más bonitos, rezuma historia por todas sus calles y callejuelas. Es literalmente impresionante, solo un consejo a la restauración, ser un pueblo de visita de día, no supone tener una restauración cara y solo orientada al turismo.

(Translated by Google) From this beautiful palace, which has exhibitions and videos that are worth seeing, the guided tour of Sos begins. It is advisable to take this guided tour because it is a small city but with a lot of history that the guide explains to you in great detail. (Original) Desde este precioso palacio, en el que tiene exposiciones y vídeos que merecen la pena ver, arranca el tour guiado por Sos. Es recomendable hacer este tour guiado porque es una ciudad pequeña pero con muchísima historia que la guía te va explicando con mucho detalle.

(Translated by Google) We took the guided tour and found it very interesting. Just being able to enter the crypt and see those wonderful paintings, we are delighted. Some anecdotes such as the inscriptions on the stones of the French soldier and the eclipse of 1300 complete the experience. (Original) Hicimos la visita guiada y nos pareció muy interesante. Ya sólo con poder entrar a la cripta y ver esas pinturas maravillosas, estamos encantados. Algunas anécdotas como las inscripciones en las piedras del soldado francés y el eclipse de 1300 completan la experiencia.

A beautiful Benedictine Monastery. Church and crypt are the only parts you can visit, but it is worth every minute you spend there. There is a wonderful cafe, immaculate toilets and a gift shop, where you buy tickets to enter the church and crypt. It is gratifying to know that money spent in the cafe and shop goes into supporting the monks and their monastery.

A small cafe with food, with a terrace with nice views. I did the audio guide for the monastery. The Monastery of Leyre, in the mountains of northern Navarra, is one of the region's most significant religious and historical sites. Over the centuries, the monastery became closely tied to the Kingdom of Navarra, serving as a pantheon for many of its kings, including the renowned Sancho III. The crypt of the Monastery of Leyre is an exceptional Romanesque structure built in the 11th century, beneath the choir of the church. It was constructed to compensate for the uneven ground on which the monastery stands. Its thick columns and vaulted ceiling give it a robust, primitive appearance, compared to the more structurally advanced Gothic architecture of the 13-16th centuries. The simple decoration of the capitals also contrasts with the Greco-Roman influenced capitals that became popular in the following centuries. The church of the Monastery of Leyre is built with thick walls and rounded arches, typical of Romanesque architecture. Due to the primitive engineering techniques of the time, the church has small windows, compared to the soaring windows of Gothic architecture. The monastery was founded by Benedictine monks in the 10th century. Today, a small community of monks continues this tradition, emphasizing prayer and hospitality while engaging in agricultural work to sustain the monastery. The Porta Speciosa (Latin "Beautiful Door") is the main entrance to the Monastery of Leyre, built in the 12th century. It is decorated with intricate Romanesque sculptures depicting biblical scenes such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Last Judgment, and animals such as lions, birds, and dragons. The Monastery of Leyre is located in a picturesque natural setting surrounded by the Sierra de Leyre mountains and the Yesa Reservoir. The reservoir was used by the monks for irrigating their fields and vineyards.

Try to take the guided tour. You will find it very interesting.

A singularly beautiful place, if only people would not bring their marauding, screaming kids and turn it into a Disney type environment. But that's how it is generally in España.... kids rule and their parents only hear their own incessant chatter.... but still worth visiting, preferably avoiding weekends and holidays....

Interesting old Abbaye up on the hill. Don’t be surprised by the narrow road up it’s well made just a bit small and longer than you think from the road. Facilities are limited if you are looking for food and drink and when we were there the new(?) toilet block was closed and those in the bar are a bit basic.

Really enjoyable space. The buildings won't take long to explore but are great, but the views are stunning, there is a small cafe and ample room to soak up the atmosphere. Recommended for a detour or short excursion from Pamplona.

A fantastic place to visit. Self paced tour with own key and left alone to wander around at leisurely pace. Very worthwhile the journey to see it.

This place is great. But how do you get there? I found get to Arguedas and follow the signs easiest. It’s not complicated. The roads are more track than tarmac but perfectly fine for cars. You could also enter via El Paso, but it’s not so well signposted. From Arguedas it’s a straight track until you reach the army base, where you turn left. Don’t mistake the first ‘stack’ as the iconic photo. Travel 2 km up the track and there’s a clear stopping place where you can get out and have a 360 degree view once you’ve climbed the easy path. Then continue on for another 2 km and you’ll reach the classic photo stack which has plenty of parking space. To get out you can keep going, left out of the car park or simply do it all again in reverse back to Arguedes.

The park is beautiful. It almost feels like you are in the American wild west. Stunning landscapes and a couple of vista points to observe and take photos from.

Really nice environment and change of scenery. The area is wide, but there are roughy 3 or 4 nice mountains/cliffs that have a 'canyon/desert' look and feel. Good to reach by car. Nice for holiday pictures and experience. There are no shops in the area, so take water (and snacks if you like) with you.

It is an otherworldly landscape that feels like a forgotten planet, making it a truly magnificent place to visit. Driving through its wild, empty roads is a unique and liberating experience that perfectly captures the spirit of adventure. It's a must-see who is around that place.

Wonderful desert with impressive scenery. Parking lot next to it. Was easy to access. I have a feeling that the most beautiful during the sunset

Incredible lunar landscape exploration ... take a car, turn on the Kiss Radio, and sing with your best friend. There tou go : a magic lifetime moment ! A must seen european place ☀️

Stunning natural park with landscape that has you think you are in a western. The information centre is very helpful and the 30 odd kilometre loop gives you stunning views all the way

Lovely area, plenty of hiking options.

Just owesome...

Extra

Natural

(Translated by Google) Parking costs €7, although hotels in the area offer €3 discounts. You can pay by card. The friendly staff will point you towards the best routes depending on your interests. Paper maps are available and there is a fountain in the parking lot. There are also public restrooms and a restaurant. I did a lovely bike ride through the Irati Forest, bordering the Irabia reservoir. It combines wide forest paths with fun trails and trials. It's about 23 km long and has 500 m of elevation gain. An important thing to keep in mind is that there is absolutely no internet access along the entire route, even well before reaching the parking lot. (Original) El parking tiene un coste de 7€, aunque en los hoteles de la zona hay descuentos de 3€. Se puede pagar con tarjeta. El personal muy amablemente te indica de las mejores rutas dependiendo de lo que quieras hacer. Hay mapas de papel disponibles y una fuente en el mismo parking. También hay baños públicos y un restaurante. Yo hice una preciosa ruta en bici por la Selva de Irati bordeando el embalse de Irabia. Combina amplios caminos forestales con senderos muy divertidos y trialeras. Unos 23 km y 500m. desnivel. Algo importante a tener en cuenta es que no hay absolutamente nada de cobertura en toda la ruta, incluso bastante antes de llegar al parking.

(Translated by Google) The access via its narrow, winding roads is what I liked least. Once there, you have several hiking trail options of varying difficulty. (Original) El acceso a través de sus carreteras estrechas y curvadas es lo que menos me gustó . Una vez allí tienes varias alternativas de rutas para hacer senderismo de mayor o menor dificultad

(Translated by Google) It's a rainforest full of vegetation, water, and life. The hikes are breathtaking, but you need to be prepared for long walks with some slippery sections. You can eat there and they have bikes for rent. The park staff is very dedicated. A 10. (Original) Es un bosque húmedo lleno de vegetación, agua y vida. Las caminatas son impresionantes, pero es necesario ir preparado para largos paseos con algunos tramos resbaladizos. Se puede comer allí y tienen bicicletas para alquilar. El personal del parque, muy dedicados. Un 10.

A new ce walk along the old electric train route. There were Many cultures and Kites in the area. We took the circuit track, but the first half was a bit average as we toured a barren roads and paddocks. Definitely worth doing the river and gorge section. The devils bridge was cool, as were the train tunnels and river. Definitely worth seeing

Great canyon, busy but easily accessible and not over commercialised. Great spot to look down into the canyon, and to look up to the many vulture colonies.

This is an amazing place. We were here between 16:00 and sunset and then the light was fantastic. There are many vultures flying on and off. An old train-track with some tunnels leads you through the canyon. Make sure to bring your binoculars.

Very easy walk below 100m canyon cliffs. There is a nice pool down by the water at the end of the first tunnel, but beware that the water is very cold.

Great place for a day trip. Bird watching, swimming in river Irati, the limestone rocks are a sight to behold. Don't forget to carry your swimming costume as the water is very refreshing. Wear very comfortable shoes and clothes.

Revisited the place I went 25 years ago. Great for walking with kids or when physically disabled. Flat walking route, not too long.

Great natural area with beautiful scenery. Circular route is worth it!

We had a great time with our 2 kids! It’s what I call a “Bosque Disneyland” ☺️👌beautiful views, great rides for little ones and for adults. We absolutely loved the circus 🎪 and the most exciting for me personally was bobsleigh experience. My 7 year old daughter loved the haunted house escape room so much, that we had to do it 3 times! 😅

Good place to spend a day with children. If your children like animals, they will have a wide variety of animals to see. The rides are fun, and here I mention the Bobsleigh, the tubing and the self drive boats. On the negative side, this Parc is huge and there are large distances to be covered. If you are with small children, they will get tired pretty fast. The day we went it was very crowded too, so there was a lot of queueing up to get to the rides, anywhere from 15 minutes to almost an hour for the bobsleigh. Parking is free but quite far away, if you want to park closer to the Parc, you pay 9 euros for a day in a parking place that is not only nearer to the entrance but your car is also protected from the sun.

We really enjoyed the park. Great surprise and in April was not too crowded we cools do almost all the attractions. Lots of fun for young children.

Good sized park with plenty to do. You can easily spend a full day here. Bring swimwear as there are both dryland and wet activities. We didn't realise this and it was a shame. If you want to do the Zipline, you need to book this in advance - this was not clear (to us non-Spaish speakers) from the website. Negative point: you're not allowed to bring your own food in. They do charge a little extra for some things targeted at young children, inside the park which is unfair after paying a hefty entrance fee for a family. It would be better to get a couple of tokens with your entry that you can use for those games.

The area where the birds are kept have metal doors that slam and make a terrible noise, which clearly freaks the birds out. Please go to any store and get those tear drops that you stick on doors to reduce this noise. Throughout the park, we saw many children banging on the glass windows/panels to get birds, tigers, lions' attention. As their parents didn't do anything, please put up signs reminding visitors to not shout at the animals nor bang on the glass panels. If this is indeed an educational park, it is your duty to look after every being in your park. Thank you

Family enjoyed and no complains.

We visited SendaViva at the start of December, what an amazing place! We had so much fun, great vibe and friendly atmosphere. We visited with small children and they really enjoyed themselves, especially the Bobsleigh ride! I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Nice and clean albergue and bed bug free. The people who served there are nice. Dinner served was delicious.

Beautiful church with a Camino albergue. By the time we arrived at 2pm, we were told 400 people had arrived looking for one of their 250 beds. Volunteers were so very kind despite being overwhelmed, and the church was a peaceful break for a contemplative moment before continuing on.

Wonderful monument of Navarese medieval culture and architecture of XIV century. Don't forget to visit the cloister where you are going to find the tomb of Navarese Knight Enel Omorio who died in 1393. Through the cloister you can get in to the Chapel where the Royal Navarese Mausoleum is and where you are going to find the tomb of King Sancho VII of Navarre who totally crashed Moors at famous battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. King was the real giant two meters and seven centimeters tall. So, entire complex is one of the greatest national monuments of the Kingdom of Navarre. There is also small museum dedicated to medieval Navarese culture where you can find two maces of beginning of XIII century. Alas! This part of the Kingdom of Navarre was conquered and annexed by the Kingdom of Aragon in 1512.

Nice church in a fabulous spot at the top of the pass between france and spain also great place to stop for a coffee before visiting either country 😀

High-quality public albergue in most aspects. The Dutch church volunteers are kind but a bit like the boot camp drill sergeants, especially on assigning the beds - strictly sequential, no consideration whatsoever of the gender, couple, or groups. Third weeks into offseason camino albergues and mostly flexible bed assignment, I was first surprised and even little annoyed by their attitude/behavior, but now think that may be a good thing for setting the mood for the whole camino journey haha

Real colegiata de Santa Maria de roncesvalles is a very good Albergue. There are blessing of Pilgrims and a biblioteca. Be careful in hiking. Better few kilometers in a gruop, because it needs a bit of expirience in hiking. Written a Story about Camino de Santiago Novum#11, page 140.

The church, a former pilgrim's hospice, is one of the most impressive examples of French gothic architecture. Built in the 13th c. by the Navarran King Sancho VII el Fuerte, it now plays host to his tomb. You can enter the cloisters and the tomb by paying EUR 2.50. I attended the 8pm pilgrims mass while I was there during my camino.

We were recommended to visit this castle by a member of staff at the parador at Calahorra. Whilst it was a detour from our planned route, it was most certainly worth it. A stunning building and an entrance fee which was unbelievably low, for people of a "more mature age". Indeed had this been an historic building in the UK, possibly run by the National Trust, the entrance would have been a minimum of 10 times the fee in Olite. It is wonderful to see how the Spanish authorities are, when it comes to restoration and maintenance of their historic sites. This castle is amazing and should definitely be on everybody's list if visiting this part of Spain.

A stunning medieval castle with impressive towers and courtyards. The architecture is unique, and the views from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit if you’re in Navarra!

Absolutely recommended. The castle is very well maintained and actually quite big. Great value for what you get. Audio tour is gives you much background information.

Stopped by at this palace on our way to Zaragoza. Well worth the detour. Entrance fee is derisory. Lovely views from all the corners of the tower. We didn’t see much of the town as it was showering but looks like a pretty little town.

Although there's nothing to see on the inside, the exterior is worth the entrance fee. The architecture is good, towers to climb and ramparts to walk giving good views.

Beautiful palace. Route through the palace and information well laid out. Lots of steps to climb to visit the numerous towers and parts of the palace. Would recommend a visit.

Absolutely worth the visit, very nice little castle with many towers to climb

Dear Duty Manager, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel, which has regrettably concluded with my early departure and relocation to the Gran Hotel La Perla. Staff and Service Issues: The reception staff demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism and helpfulness throughout my stay. I observed a marked difference in their demeanor when assisting Spanish-speaking guests versus others, which is unacceptable in any hospitality establishment. Every reasonable request I made was met with responses such as “we can’t do that,” “no sorry,” or worse, false information and blank stares. This is not the service standard one expects from a property charging rates comparable to a Hyatt Regency or Mandarin Oriental. Dining Experience: The in-room dining hours are woefully inadequate, and the menu offerings were utterly tasteless. The hotel restaurant was shameful in its execution. For context, the Auberge in Zubiri where I dined yesterday delivered an experience approaching Michelin-star quality - a stark and embarrassing contrast to your establishment. Room Conditions: The room itself was substandard in multiple respects: • Overly starched, uncomfortable linens • No air conditioning or adequate cooling system • Dirty bathroom upon arrival • Television remote control held together with tape • An antiquated television with no modern connectivity options (no screen sharing capability) • Insufficient pillows (which I had to specifically request) • Intrusive lighting from the pool area that illuminated my room to an unbearable degree throughout the evening Value Proposition: Your hotel charges premium rates that match genuinely luxury properties, yet delivers a 4-star experience at best - and frankly, even that rating feels generous given my experience. This represents exceptionally poor value and, quite frankly, misleading positioning in the market. Management Perspective: I must address what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding by your management team: not all Camino pilgrims stay in hostels. Many of us, myself included, regularly patronize 5-star establishments for respite during our journey. We are experienced travelers who frequently review accommodations, dining, and travel services. Your assumption that pilgrims represent a lower-tier clientele is both incorrect and insulting. Resolution: I have absorbed the cancellation fees and relocated to the Gran Hotel La Perla, where I should have trusted my instincts to book initially. I hope by posting a detailed review on Google will assist other travelers in my position be forewarned. They deserve to know they should either continue walking or stay at the superior property across the plaza. I expect no response to this complaint, as my experience suggests it would likely be another “we can’t do that.” However, I sincerely hope you will use this feedback to reassess your service standards, facility maintenance, and approach to guest relations. Regards, P.

Could be a lovely place to stay with some simple changes. The location was great, although parking at the hotel expensive. We parked a little way from the hotel which allowed us to enjoy walking through Pamplona’s beautiful gardens. Our room was spacious, but no kettle. Fridge very small and didn’t work properly. Some of the staff very unfriendly. The lady who checked us in was clearly not having a good day or needs another job. Lovely drinks area but very unfriendly service. Thank goodness for Sylvia who was absolutely delightful and helpful.

Great place to stay in Pamplona, in the heart of the old city. Secure parking - height limit of 3m - so ideal for those travelling in small camper vans. Access to the parking is easy, just behind/below the swimming pool. Excellent service, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Good quality buffet breakfast - however there are many places nearby to eat too. Highly recommend this hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Very eclectic decor in our dark suite. For a suite in a boutique hotel it really lacked bathroom products. The TV was a really tiny one, screwed to the wall high up on the wall only watchable from the bed. It was totally unwatchable from the 2x chairs ( not even a sofa) in the the sparsely-furnished sitting area.

Could be a very nice hotel (given location, and quality of building) but let down by unfriendly and rude staff and items not working in our room (bar fridge and safe). Also parking at the hotel is expensive, and cheaper alternatives are a 20 min walk away.

Top location very close to the busy old city centre from Pamplona, very comfortable rooms (some with view of the green) and a very friendly and professional staff at reception = top location to visit Pamplona (a plus: upon reservation since limited number, this hotel provides for a parking).

Great stay. Valet parking (I guess temporarily because the garage is under construction). Very friendly young lady at the reception. Good restaurant (we did not have breakfast), pet friendly,... If there's a remark to give: the 2 young ladies taking care of the restaurant should scan more the tables (look around more) to see if people want attention. More selling would have happened if they'd done so. But they surely were friendly too.

Not much left to look at, but worth a visit. Go past the monument and walk around what's left of some of the old city walls and get some fantastic views.

Nice park to walk out relax. You enter for free

A truly amazing space; you can spend ages exploring its extensive network of fortifications, while the centre of the citadel has been made into an attractive park, which somehow enhances rather than distracts from the powerful impact of the fortifications - it’s great seeing an historic space finding a modern purpose. As with many of Pamplona’s parks, the space is dotted with sculptures, adding further interest. A “must visit” experience if you’re in Pamplona, even if you only have 15 minutes to walk through its centre. Indeed, since it’s next door to the bus station, it’s a good place to pass time if you’ve a wait for your bus. And it’s all free and open 24 hours a day!

Enjoyed looking around this city. Ate at some great bars and enjoyed the pintxos. Be aware that shops will shut for a long lunch and everything quietens down. The citadel is worth a look as a lovely quiet place with lots of shade. Art exhibitions are there too - shut for lunch though!

It was built between 1571 and 1645 under the orders of Felipe II of Spain to defend Pamplona. The fortress was designed in the Renaissance military architectural style with a star-shaped layout, and each corner had defensive shelters. In 1685 and the early 18th century, its defense system was reinforced with an external crescent-shaped fortification. Today, the military function has disappeared, and the site has been transformed into a park, offering a space for locals and tourists to relax and enjoy. Visitors can also walk along the moat. Various cultural events and exhibitions are held both inside and outside the fortress. During the San Fermín festival, fireworks are displayed here.

Amazingly built , lots of history , great to walk through to get to places , well kept , old gunpowder stores and to much to wrote about . A must even just for a walk but the walls and buildings impressive

Free and great place to walk! You can walk in, through and around the citadel which provides tunnels, views and nice exercise. You get a good sense for the history of the place. I especially enjoyed seeing all the dogs :)

The variety of trekking routes is great; from the flat and easy 1 hour to the 6-7 hour mountain hike. The gardens and palace are a must (entry is just €3); they have a huge variety of trees and interesting flora from around the world. In just over an hour and a half you can take it all in before beginning your trek.

This is a gorgeous park to visit, catering to all types of visitors. The artistic garden is an easy stroll through many different types of vegetation, magnetic trees, beautiful flowers and an incredible, beautifully decorated pond complete with a small palace and chaple looking out over the river. There are also a bunch of mountain trails ranging in difficulty for those who like hiking. There's a park for children and picnic tables to eat at if you bring your lunch, and a cafe at the visitor's center. And a little village is at the park entrance. All in all it's definitely worth the time to visit.

Walk inside the well kept gardens (need to pay entrance fee), have a picnic, go for a walk up the easy mountain climb for great views (currently closed for covid) and/or let kids play in the outdoor play area. Good day out.

Out of this world, a real must if visiting Navarra, one of the few places of untouched,unspoilt natural beauty.I call it the jurrasic forest because it has been so well kept and preserved,staff also very friendly and helpful at all times.

Nice park but the outside road with the little river beter, because off the heat

Wonderful place for hiking and beautiful trees. There is also a botanical garden

Excellent

An experience taking the train to the top and back. Book your tickets in advance. You then have to stick to the seating plan going up and down. Parking can be a problem, the car parks are full during the day and parking along the road can be tricky too. It may be easier to get the bus to the train station. Going for the last train up may be easier, and there will be fewer people on the top. Once on top, you have 2 hours to look around, and the views are amazing on a clear day. There are cafés and toilets (1 euro) on the summit. The best souvenir shop is opposite the lower station.

Really cool experience, it’s been 10+ years that we wanted to go up and we finally went for it. If you pack your picnic make sure to have a blanket, spots are rare (except restaurant tables of course). Also keep in mind that the time spent at the top is very limited since you have to catch the train back down.

If you love old railways this is a fantastic visit. Friendly stsff, amazing views, mountain peak and old trains - what's not to love. It's a €1 charge for the toilet at the top, and having just come from Spain the summit drinks prices were steep but it's a honeypot so not unexpected.

Brilliant trip up into the hills, rainy misty day but still beautiful up there! Sheep on the track, very funny as they would not move! Excellent shop at the start and at the top too. Cafe at the top quite pricey...

We enjoyed it very much. It's a most to make reservations. And arrive with time. The parkingbis a little difficult. We parked on the street. There are many places to eat and drink.

Magnifique! Beautiful views of France and Spain. The train ride is very pleasant and takes about 35 mn. The little trains, I believe are from the 1920's but in pristine condition. As it ascends at about 9 km/h you can admire the beautiful Pyrénées.

Very well organised excursion train with audio guide. Friendly atmosphere and great views when we travelled.

We hugely enjoyed our time in the tranquil Pyrenees Countryside, the relaxed atmosphere and opportunities for adventure paired with a rich history of Basque culture makes for a once in a lifetime experience. Georgina and her daughter, Marion are wonderful hosts and have created a beautiful home and lifestyle to share with their guests. A special mention to Georgina’s efforts in mapping and providing detailed written directions for countless walks in the area and always taking time to share her extensive knowledge of the local history. Cannot recommend highly enough!

In a World that has gone mad, finding Pyrenean Experience was truly amazing. I went to improve my Spanish speaking and understanding of the language and to walk in the mountains. Georginas place is an oasis of calm where it is possible to completely forget the problems surrounding us and enjoy the company of a wide range of people, to eat amazing food, to walk and talk with locals and to discover a hidden gem in the Navarre mountains. It has to be one of the best holidays I have spent and its a must for anyone looking to improve their Spanish and to enjoy the amazing countryside and hospitality of Georgina and her staff.

Incredible! Highly recommended. A chance to get right at the heart of the beautiful Basque countryside, share a fascinating insight into local customs and enjoy both home cooked delights and local restaurant meals - even Michelin rated!. Whether you go for the guided Pyrenean Experience Walks or use their carefully prepared maps for a Self Guided Adventure and with or without their Professional Spanish Language Tuition.

Perched high up in the Pyrenean foothills, with stunning views of the entire rural patchwork valley (and of the spectacular Basque skies), this is a mountain paradise. Shady terraces, flower gardens, sofas, outdoor and indoor dining and relaxing areas make it also a place of the utmost conviviality.

At the moment it is great here in the mountains of Navarra. The sun is shining and the mountains glow green with their overcoat of beautiful trees

Excellent service,accomodation and all around advice. Excelletinf skiing available from the doorstep. I will be returning customer. Thanks guys

It is a splendid sight to view the snow sprinkled mountains and mist in the valley from this perfect magical hideaway.

This is a MUST DO if you are here on a Sunday! Yes, it is amazing g architecture znd decore, but it is a church and to hear the organ, the singing that fills the interior and participate was wonderful experience. There was paper outline to follow, very helpful for us English speaking Protestants. We went to the 10:30AM service and were so glad we got there 20 minutes early, as there was standing room only when the church bells rang to begin.

Very beautiful place. When we have walked past there is usally no wait at all. Stunning views and architecture. I would highly recommend popping in and viewing. We came here on a sunny Monday and there was a few people inside but lots of space to look and explore

This is an historically important church, where Louis the 14th was married. It has a very unusual architectural feature being the wooden balconies that have been added around three of the walls. This was to house an expanding congregation that could not fit otherwise. A lovely church and Well worth the visit. Entry is free And a good place to sit for a while.

Beautiful Catholic Church in the centre of town and leading onto the square Louis IV. The architecture and the decorations within the church were stunning with so many lovely colours and stained glass decorations. Really worth stopping by if you are interested in the history of this town.

Beautiful church that's almost hidden away. Make a stop and enjoy its beauty. As always, be respectful and mindful of worshippers.

Was walking past and went in on impulse so glad I did. Very quiet and peaceful looks and feels old

The Church of John the Baptist (Saint- Jean-Baptiste), where June 9, 1660 Louis XIV, king of France and Navarra, (grandson of Henry IV) married Mary Theresa of Spain. This is the largest temple in the Basque part of France. It's a very exciting feeling to study history in this way

I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS. Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone. Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

Very beautiful in picture beach in the centre of Saint Sebastian. I really love my visit to the spot. Lots of people enjoying the weather and the scenic view. Around the beach area, there is plenty to see, including tourist attractions and spots to enjoy refreshments and food.

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Stunning city beach! Great moment for a nice walk at the beach a few meters only from the city center. Definitely a place to be in this city

For fabulous views of San Sebastián it’s well worth the climb to the top. Steep steps in places or more windy route available. Make sure you take water with you, there’s nowhere to drink at the top but there is a very good bar half way up and worth a stop.

If you take the view alone as a yardstick it cannot quite compete with its counterpart on the other side of the bay (Monte Igueldo), but Urgull can be explored in a relaxed and peaceful manner. Fortunately there is no cable car but there are some nice hiking trails, the small castle is well preserved and if you didn't already have the impression of looking at a miniature version of Rio, the statue of Christ confirms this effect.

Located in San Sebastián, Mount Urgull offers stunning views of the city and coastline, with paths for all fitness levels. The hike is filled with historical sites, with the most widely known as the statue of Christ. The greenery and vibrant gardens make it perfect for a stroll or picnic. Whether you're into hiking, history, or just enjoying nature, Mount Urgull is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

A nice walk up, with multiple spots to see the views but also some historical monuments and remains. Get yourself lost in this beautiful walk to the top and go to the castle-museum (free)!

Mount Urgull offers an amazing vantage point to get closer to the Jesus statue whilst connecting with nature and history. The walk up is quite steep but the view is worth it. Along the path are a dozen or so signposted pitstops offering a snapshot of this sight's historical relevance. At the top there's a castle with museum accessed by staggered entry times. There's two entry points to the park allowing walkers to create a psuedo loop.

Fascinating little hill and old battlementsl with a labyrinth of interconnected paths that lead you up to monument over looking the city. Its not overly taxing as the routes are not very steep and have been designed to suit a range of fitness levels. You need a ticket to get into view the monument and should be booked in advance(tickets are free). Its an awesome 2 hours well spent and offers spectacular view of the city promenade and bay area

After we lost in endless we vote san sebastian because its easy it was going well until we got jumped by a bunch of zombies when we was trying to lower the platform lucky the red eye fell of with the medic and we thought the rest of we was waiting for the boat and few cuirassiers spawned and killed me

Great spot to take a walk and take in the beautiful house line of the amazing san sebastian. Great pieces of art, the sculpture are impressive in the mid day sunshine.

Where land and open sea meet; celebrated by Land Art. (I would have appreciated some onsite background info of the artwork. I think it is a play of the city's initials /symbols as touched by the sea and weather.) Powerful photo opportunity.

Fantastic walk! I was in my element. Great to be alone or share the experience with your people.

Originally planned to come here for a quick visit and ended up staying a lot longer than intended as it was such a relaxing place to be. It was calming watching and listening to the waves crashing against the rocks here, plus there were some great views across the bay. This would be an ideal place to watch the sun go down on a warm summer's day and if I'm ever in San Sebastian again, I'll be sure to do just that.

The restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere with friendly staff and exceptional food. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. A wonderful dining experience that left me eager to return yes

Wonderful! An amazing ensemble of three iron plastics that resist the force of water and winds for so long. The ocean was calm and thankfully the fountain was not spewing water, but its angry voice could be heard. We visited early in the morning and there were hardly any people.

Fun Cold Pretty Lots of people Only walking No driving

Super nice view, that’s all as this s mostly a lil park for kids to run around. The funicular isn’t worth the >1 hour wait but I insisted as I thought I d be able to enjoy the ride, I was wrong. Overall attractions aren’t attractive, and the only hotel restaurant to avoid. There is though a lil bar on the side selling refreshments at half of the prices and queue, if needed rather go there. I mean, it’s a must go but you may be disappointed

Easy level trekking (more like walking), easier if you have car 😁. Loved the views. There is small entrance fee and also the other activities for which you have pay small amount but for one time experience I think it’s okay. It’s best place for kids, the park is full of games and stuff for kids.

Great views and trails but nothing much on the top itself. Enjoy the ride up stopping at the various points along the way.

Nice journey with the funicular to the top of the Igueldo Mountain where you can admire the spectacular view of San Sebastian and enjoy a meal or a coffee.

Monte gluedo its really amazing place

Breathtaking view! Entrance costs 2,50€ per person

Spectacular views of the beaches and San Sebastian.

Fantastic views and so very close to the town centre. Breathtaking! All for free.

If you happen to be in the area and don’t mind walking uphill (and back down again), it’s worth a visit for the views. Wouldn’t make a special trip to the town for it, but if you’re going to be nearby already, it was nice to see (spent more time walking up/down than actually being there though).

The church itself wasn’t open when we visited the views are amazing! Very windy up there though.

It was impressive, weather was good in morning with low tide. The flysch of Zumaia is a famous geologic formation in the Basque Country, Spain,

A simple little basilica located in a spectacular landscape atop a cliff overlooking the beach and the bay of biscayne.

Really worth to visit. But be careful it is not accessible by the car by any chance. It looks like that it is on the map. But in the real world it’s not.

Located on the Itzurun beach and on a cliff, the small hermitage of San Telmo is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. Inside, there is a Rococo altar from the 18th century, made of wood without polychrome or gilding. There are images of Santiago and Santa Clara next to it. The first written records of this hermitage date back to 1540. In the 17th century it was the seat of the San Telmo brotherhood

Nice vantage point to see a beautiful scene, it was in game of thrones as well for people interested :)

Love this beach! Sea was clear and lovely, there is enough shade because of the rocks. There is a public toilette and showers and you need maybe 10 minutes from the bus station to reach it. A little bar on the edge has coffee, drinks and snacks.

Amazing beach. I hiked from here to Deba. Flysch are sedimentary rock formations of alternating layers of limestone and shale. The layers were formed horizontally but tectonic forces have tilted them over millions of years. The flysch are invaluable to geologists as they provide detailed records of Earth's history. The formations are found mostly in Europe but the ones in the Basque Country are distinguished by their exceptional preservation and accessibility. The name "flysch" originates from the German word "fließen," meaning "to flow", which was the process by which these layers were deposited through ancient underwater landslides and sediment flows.

Great beach with everything you need for an easy family time, great hike nearby and beautiful vantage point !

An amazing beach with unique geological formations that lets you see the individual layers of the adjacent cliffs. Not crowded at all when I visited in late March. A few surfers and some people with doggos. Fantastic views and landscapes.

This is one of my favorite beaches in Gipuzkoa. Parking is pretty easy, park around Amaia Plaza, pay at one of the machines, then walk a few blocks straight to the beach. There are bathrooms and a small restaurant. The beach is smaller than others but the sand is soft and there are plenty of people to watch as well as beautiful views to enjoy.

It's a lovely beach with nice hiking routes around. If you want to get here, it's better to park in the free parking called "Parking Zumaia" which is on the dock yard where the boats/ships are docked. It's a 15 mins walk from the parking spot to the beach. It's hard to drive up close to the beach as there are no public parking spots and most are one way streets.

😎 Next to fishing port~ shops and bars nearby. Closed when l was there. Looks beautiful 😎

Wonder architecture

(Translated by Google) The church of the Assumption is located very close to the fishing port, at one end of the old town. The town of Lekeitio still preserves to this day certain features of the old medieval city with some palaces and stately homes. The church is located in the fishing area, one of the most beautiful in Lekeitio. Its northern façade opens onto a large square where the town hall is also located, located in an old baroque stately palace from the 18th century. On the other side of the church you can see a short canvas of the old city walls, ordered to be built in the 14th century by King Alfonso XI of Castile. The church of Our Lady of the Assumption was built throughout the second half of the 15th century on the foundations of an old smaller 13th century Romanesque church, which was demolished. The original church is of late Gothic style although, throughout the 18th and 19th centuries it has undergone various reforms and modifications, adding baroque and neo-Gothic architectural elements, such as the bell tower or the ambulatory of the apse and the north portico that faces the square. The church is built with regular ashlar blocks of gray limestone. It has a basilica plan with three naves with a polygonal head in its central nave and is supported laterally by buttresses and five buttresses on each side crowned by pinnacles. Inside, the star-shaped ribbed vault supported by wide fasciculated columns stands out. On the outside, it is worth highlighting, especially, the magnificent main doorway, a Gothic masterpiece. In its lower part a flared door opens with two segmental arches and a mullion with the image of the Virgin and child under a canopy. The door is framed by simple archivolts, except for the outermost one made with twelve figures. These archivolts rest on narrow pilasters. In the center there is a tympanum decorated with a central figure that represents God surrounded by four angels. The set is framed by two side alfices with small allegorical figures of nature and a frieze at the top with an image in the center of a crucified Jesus surrounded by figures of saints. At the top another frieze represents paradise, portrayed by angels playing various instruments and a pointed window of Gothic tracery. All framed by a last pointed arch. Attached to the main doorway is a quadrangular tower crowned by an octagonal bell tower, a baroque construction from the 18th century. Inside the church you can see an important collection of works of sacred art, both sculptures and paintings. Although the most notable thing inside is the magnificent altarpiece of the main altar located in the apse. It is a Gothic altarpiece from the 16th century, with some reminiscence of Mudejar art, which represents scenes of the Virgin Mary. An altarpiece in polychrome wood covered with gold leaf that is, without a doubt, a true work of art and the jewel of this church. In a side chapel there is an altarpiece with the image of the Virgin of Antigua, a Romanesque carving from the 12th century, which according to legend was found by some fishermen who placed it away from the beach. However, the next day the image appeared on a tree, again next to the beach, so they decided to build a small hermitage by the sea dedicated to the Virgin. Admission to the church costs 2 euros/pax and it is open every day, both mornings and afternoons, varying the hours depending on the time of year. Next to this church is the Tourism office. The Church of the Assumption is declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. A true Gothic architectural gem that is worth visiting, although always respecting the worship of the parishioners. (Original) La iglesia de la Asunción se encuentra muy cerca del puerto pesquero, en un extremo de la antigua villa. El pueblo de Lekeitio aún conserva a día de hoy ciertos rasgos de la antigua ciudad medieval con algunos palacios y casas señoriales. La iglesia se encuentra en la zona marinera, una de las más bonitas de Lekeitio. Su fachada norte se abre frente a una amplia plaza en donde se ubica, también, el ayuntamiento, situado éste en un antiguo palacete señorial barroco del siglo XVIII. Al otro lado de la iglesia se puede ver un corto lienzo de las antiguas murallas de la ciudad, mandadas construir en el siglo XIV por el rey Alfonso XI de Castilla. La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción fue construida a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XV sobre los cimientos de una antigua iglesia románica del siglo XIII más pequeña, que fue derruida. La iglesia original es de estilo gótico tardío aunque, a lo largo de los siglos XVIII y XIX ha sufrido diversas reformas y modificaciones, añadiendo elementos arquitectónicos barrocos y neogóticos, como la torre campanario o la girola del ábside y el pórtico norte que da a la plaza. La iglesia está construida con bloques de sillería regular de caliza gris. Tiene planta basilical de tres naves con una cabecera poligonal en su nave central y está sustentada lateralmente por arbotantes y cinco contrafuertes a cada lado coronados por pináculos. En el interior destaca la bóveda de crucería estrellada sustentada por anchas columnas fasciculadas. En el exterior cabe recalcar, especialmente, la magnífica portada principal, una obra maestra del gótico. En su parte inferior se abre una puerta abocinada con dos arcos escarzanos y un parteluz con la imagen de la Virgen y el niño bajo un dosel. La puerta está enmarcada por arquivoltas simples, a excepción de la más exterior realizada con doce figuras. Estas arquivoltas descansan sobre estrechas pilastras. En el centro se abre un tímpano decorado con una figura central que representa a Dios rodeado por cuatro ángeles. El conjunto está enmarcado por dos alfices laterales con pequeñas figuras alegóricas de la naturaleza y un friso en su parte superior con una imagen en el centro de Jesús crucificado rodeado de figuras de santos. En la parte superior otro friso representa el paraíso, retratado por ángeles tocando diversos instrumentos y una ventana apuntada de tracería gótica. Todo enmarcado por un último arco apuntado. Adosada a la portada principal hay una torre de planta cuadrangular coronada por un campanario octogonal, una construcción barroca del siglo XVIII. En el interior de la iglesia se puede ver una importante colección de obras de arte sacro, tanto esculturas como pinturas. Aunque lo más destacable del interior es el magnífico retablo del altar mayor situado en el ábside. Se trata de un retablo gótico del siglo XVI, con cierta reminiscencia del arte mudéjar, que representa escenas de la Virgen María. Un retablo en madera policromada recubierto con pan de oro que es, sin duda, una verdadera obra de arte y la joya de esta iglesia. En una capilla lateral se encuentra un retablo con la imagen de la Virgen de la Antigua, una talla románica del siglo XII, que según cuenta la leyenda fue encontrada por unos pescadores los cuales la pusieron a resguardo lejos de la playa. Sin embargo, al día siguiente la imagen apareció sobre un árbol, de nuevo junto a la playa, por lo que decidieron construir una pequeña ermita junto al mar bajo la advocación de la Virgen. La entrada a la iglesia cuesta 2 euros/pax y está abierto todos los días, tanto por las mañanas como por las tardes, variando el horario según la época del año. Junto a esta iglesia se encuentra la oficina de Turismo. La iglesia de la Asunción está declarada como Bien de Interés Cultural. Una verdadera joya arquitectónica del gótico que merece la pena visitar, aunque siempre respetando el culto de los feligreses.

(Translated by Google) Impressive, it is surprising to know that it has the third largest altarpiece in the country after the cathedrals of Seville and Toledo. (Original) Impresionante, sorprende saber que tiene el tercer retablo más grande del país después de las catedrales de Sevilla y Toledo.

(Translated by Google) I went to enter, but a very rude woman wouldn't let us in because they were in Mass. It's the Lord's house, and entry is prohibited. People kept coming in. As long as you go in and don't make any noise, what's the point? I've never been banned from a church. Am I a demon or something? (Original) Fui a entrar y una señora muy borde no nos dejó porque estaban en misa. La casa del señor y está prohibida la entrada. No hacía más que entrar gente. Mientras entre y no hagas ruido que más da... vergüenza nunca me han prohibido la entrada en una iglesia que soy un demonio o que?

(Translated by Google) The parish church of the Assumption of Santa María de Lekeitio is an example of late Gothic. The current temple, which was completed at the end of the 15th century, Later, it underwent a transformation in the 19th century with a new sacristy, an ambulatory and a large side porch, all in Gothic style. After this restoration, it was recognized as a basilica. (Original) La iglesia parroquial de la Asunción de Santa María de Lekeitio es un ejemplo del gótico tardío. El actual templo, que fue terminado a finales del siglo XV, Posteriormente, fue objeto de una transformación en el siglo XIX con una nueva sacristía, una girola y un gran pórtico lateral, todo de estilo gótico. Después de esta restauración, fue reconocida como basílica.

(Translated by Google) A beauty with a Gothic style that impresses, day or night its beauty captivates, with very good lighting at night that highlights the gargoyles and corners to view them from any angle, since both its exterior and interior are very well cared for. You can see its interior with a €2 ticket. (Original) Una belleza con estilo gótico que impresiona, de día o de noche su belleza cautiva, con muy buena iluminación en la noche que resalta las gárgolas y rincones para visualizarlos desde cualquier ángulo, ya que está muy cuidada tanto su exterior como su interior.
