Tourist Shopping Guide - Pamplona City Council
The streets, squares and more hidden spots of Pamplona offer the visitor a wide range of options to enjoy his/her stay in a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere. This guide provides an itinerary through the different parts of our city, where you will discover a large number of services.
Casco Antiguo: The streets in the Old Part of Pamplona have witnessed 2,000 years of history since the Roman general Pompey founded the city. The three ancient boroughs of mediaeval Pamplona can still be distinguished, as can the everlasting mark of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela. A shopping, leisure and cultural area par excellence, it also caters for the needs of the local population perfectly well through the Market of Santo Domingo. The quadrant between Mayor, Estafeta, Zapatería and Comedias streets has a wide range of shops, close to the Plaza del Castillo, the real heart of the city. Well worth a visit are the city walls, the cathedral, the Museum of Navarre, City Hall Square and – of course – the streets where the Bull Run takes place, where you can buy souvenirs and typical regional products, as well as enjoying the traditional "pintxos" (tapas).
I Ensanche: This area, the result of the expansion of Pamplona at the end of the 19 th century, is now home to well-known chain stores, multi-national brands, prestigious designers, boutiques and select jewellers in Carlos III and Conde Olivetto. The striking new Congress Centre and Auditorium of Navarre – ‘El Baluarte' – was recently built here.
II Ensanche: This area is an extension of the I Ensanche, both in terms of urban planning and shopping and services. It has received a boost through the pedestrianisation of the southern section of Avenida Carlos III, which has a variety of shops, bars and cafeterias. Other good shopping places are the Plaza de la Cruz and Calle Olite, although the busy neighbourhood market – the Mercado Nuevo – is also well worth a visit.
San Juan: Crossed by the Avenida Bayona, this neighbourhood is an ideal place to combine a stroll with shopping and other leisure activities. Its high-quality shops are near a wide range of bars and restaurants, from the most traditional to the most innovative. Highlights of the area are the Taconera Park and the Civican, a cultural/community centre set up by the Caja Navarra Foundation.
Iturrama: A residential neighbourhood that emerged at the end of the 1970s next to the campus of the Universidad de Navarra, its range of shops and bars/restaurants is more in line with younger tastes. You can find anything from electronic music to a champagne bar. It is separated from San Juan and the I Ensanche by the Vuelta del Castillo park and the Citadel, an unbeatable combination of greenery and a historical monument.
Ermitagaña – Mendebaldea: These modern residential neighbourhoods revolve around three key places: Yamaguchi park, where the Planetarium is located; the Golem multiscreen cinema complex, and the Market of Ermitagaña. There is a wide variety of restaurants, bars and establishments, and finally the area where the city's three main hospitals are located, with a large number of shops, bars, cafeterias and hotels.
Green Walks through Pamplona: Pamplona has more than four million square feet of parkland. Among these we would highlight the Arga River Park , a 7-mile walk that has meant the environmental recovery of the river.
