Visiting Pamplona with your rental car
Welcome to Pamplona, the capital of the Autonomous Community of Navarra and the city of the San Fermin festival. Known worldwide for the Sanfermines, Pamplona offers much more. Relax in its beautiful parks, learn in its interesting museums, socialize in its bars and be surprised by its great cultural offer.
Pamplona currently has more than 195,000 inhabitants. This figure makes it the most populated municipality in the region of Navarra.
It is believed that General Pompey founded this city in 74 B.C. and, since then, many people have wanted to possess it. In addition to the Vascones, the Visigoths and Muslims have lived in this territory. Its peak came in the ninth century, when it became the capital of the Kingdom of Pamplona and, later, the Kingdom of Navarre.
The first week of July Pamplona jumps to the international scene thanks to its San Fermines. During these days, thousands of people from all over the world crowd the streets with their white t-shirts and pants and their red scarves and sashes. You should know, however, that San Fermin is not the patron saint of Pamplona. San Saturnino holds this honor, although he is not the one who gets the popularity.
In addition, Pamplona is the end of the second stage of the Camino de Santiago for all those who make their pilgrimage from Roncesvalles.
Undoubtedly, this city has a lot to offer. Are you planning to come to this city on vacation? Do you have to make a business trip? For all these situations it is best to have a reliable, spacious and manageable rental car in Pamplona. Enter the Furauto comparator and find yours!
