Location
Universidad Publica de Navarra is situated in a peaceful and sunny part of Pamplona, not far from the city center. Pamplona is a manageable size. You can reach most points of interest in Pamplona on foot. Internationally, Pamplona is best known for its festival of San Fermin and el Encierro (Running of the Bulls), which take place in July of each year.
Pamplona is the capital of Navarra, a region located in the north of Spain bordering on France. In the Middle Ages, Navarra was important as a crossing point for highways and the pilgrimage routes of the Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James). In addition to its historic importance, Navarra is especially rich in natural attractions. Though only 10,400 square kilometers, Navarra is characterized by three distinct climatological zones, which lead to a variety of natural settings.
