Pamplona on a clear day
Well we made it to Pamplona but we were a bit late and ended up having to do a mini tour of the town (city) looking for somewhere to stay, unlike in the Basque Country the info centre shut at 5 which meant we just missed it, but the nice girls opened up to give us some local info to help finding a hotel etc.
