Well, Osasuna isn't a city at all, but is the name of a football club from a Spanish province called Navarre.
And what does Osasuna actually mean?
It means health in the Basque language. The club was founded in 1920 and its football stadium was named "El Sadar" after one of the rivers flowing through its home city.
And which city is Osasuna from?
From Pamplona, the capital city of a former medieval kingdom, with a walled old quarter that is vibrant with life, full of bars with delicious pintxos (tapas), a host of green areas and the seat of one of the most prestigious universities in Europe.
Pamplona is:
- The place for the international bull-running Fiestas of San Fermín.
- The first city on the French Way of St James in Spain.
- The capital city of Navarre, the Spanish region with the highest quality of life
Real nature and culture
With more than 150 protected nature areas, Navarre is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities and sustainable rural tourism in picturesque towns and villages, places that have known how to preserve their culture and age-old traditions, such as Basque pelota. Here you can explore the witches' cave, listen to Gregorian chants, visit Romanesque churches and medieval castles.
