Get in contact with Nature

Take a dip in an ice-cold river, have a nap in the shade of a chestnut tree or watch the sun as it goes down behind the mountains. These are just some of the simple pleasures of being in Nature.

In Navarre, you can experience such pleasures anywhere at anytime.

Thanks to the fact that Navarre has a rich and varied natural landscape, you can climb up the high peaks in the Pyrenees, such as the Mesa de los Tres Reyes, lose yourself in an ancient oak grove, such as Orgi, or feel like you're on the moon in the Bardenas Reales Natural Park.

Navarre is nature at its most exuberant. Atlantic, Pyrenean and Mediterranean climates, side by side. And that's why Navarre is so unique.

Navarra no se conoce hasta que se han andado sus caminos. Y no lo decimos por decir. Este es un territorio desbordado por la naturaleza, y si vienes aquí y no te calzas las zapatillas te habrás perdido uno de nuestros mayores puntos fuertes.

Y si con la llegada del verano te gusta disfrutar de un buen paseo en bici, estás de enhorabuena porque en Navarra contamos con sendas y pistas a tutiplén. Te dejamos tres ideas para ir abriendo boca.

    Hiking


    Navarre can only be truly experienced by walking its trails. And we're not just talking for talking's sake. This is a land brimming with nature, and if you come here and don't put your boots on, then you'll have missed out on one of our strongest points.

    So, make the most of the nice summer temperatures and take a stroll in the shade of ancient beech and oak trees, or along our Rail Trails, alongside rivers, river sources and reservoirs, and enjoy the simple things in life.

    If you're feeling really active, then there are two options: on the one hand, the stages of the GR Routes that pass through Navarre or, on the other hand, mountaineering with some awesome panoramic views.

    And, if you're visiting Pamplona and you haven't got the use of a vehicle to access these routes, don't worry, because the the Arga River Walk starts in Pamplona. This is a beautiful 12-kilometre trail that will take you across bridges and footbridges, alongside mills and market gardens. A delightful walk right on your doorstep.

    Bike trails

    If you're into summer biking, then Navarre is the place for you because we've got tracks and trails galore. Here are just three ideas to whet your appetite.

    • Our 5 Rail Trails are easy-to-do and ideal for peacefully enjoying biking, taking you through many different spots.

    • The EuroVelo 1 cycle route allows you to do the Navarre section before going on to do the Norwegian Fjords or the route going towards Portugal. It's just a question of getting started.

    • The MTB areas comprise hundreds of kilometres to explore with trails for all levels of ability, spread across Navarre: in the Esteribar Valley there are 12 trails to choose from, more than 400 km to explore the Pyrenees, a further 46 km in the Central Zone and 2,000 km of trails in Tierra Estella in the south.

Air and water sports

The warmth of summer is finally here! And you're sure to want to take a dip in the water. In Navarre, we don't really miss the sea because we've got hundreds of kilometres of rivers and reservoirs to help us to cool off and to practice water sports.

And if you're really adventurous then you've also got the option of doing paragliding and other air sports.

Adventure Parks

Get ready for an exhilarating zip lining experience, cross a Tibetan bridge, climb trees or, just like a spider, do a safe climbing course, dive into a natural water park or go on an adrenaline-pumping giant pendulum swing ride... Life is just perfect with challenges like these.

And where are all these adventures to be found? Well, they're spread across Navarre. Irrisarri Land, Bertiz and Baztan Abentura Park in the north. Senda Viva in the south, close to the Bardenas Reales Natural Park. In Lekunberri there is the Beigorri Aventure Park, and Artamendia in Aibar.

You're going to have a really fun time!

Navarre is not bordered by the sea, but it does have a number of river pools, ready and waiting for you to easily take a refreshing, natural dip in the river.

Fiestas, events and shows in summer

The most well-known festival is unquestionably San Fermín. Pamplona decks itself out and welcomes local people and visitors alike for its Big Week. But as well as enjoying the local fiestas, you can also visit some of the magnificent medieval markets.

Besides, the shows go outdoors and are held in squares, on the city walls, in castles and gardens. Take note of Kultur, Drama Festival of Olite, or the three in Pamplona: Festival de las Murallas (city walls), Flamenco On Fire and Reclassics.

With so much outdoor activity and so many things to see and do throughout the day, it's natural that you want to stop to eat. There are many different restaurants to choose from, and with quality produce.

And, when night falls, if you don't feel like shutting yourself up in a room, you can always rent a house in the country and lengthen your days, chatting in the garden. Or, for families, the option of camping is sure to be just the right choice. And if you like the atmosphere of the towns and villages, then choose a hotel or apartment located in the centre.

Do the Camino

Summer and the Way of St James go hand in hand. This is the favourite season for pilgrims from all over the world to shoulder their backpack and start out on their journey.

There are a number of reasons for choosing this season: the days are longer so you can take your time doing the stages; the services are fully available; there's a high chance of meeting people; and the atmosphere in the towns and villages is livelier than at any other time of year.

And if you run out of time to complete the Way, that's no problem. Next summer, simply start where you left off! Remember: lightweight backpacks, friendliness among hikers, and a summer atmosphere. What more could you want?
