Located in the Northern part of Spain about 60 miles from San Sebastian, Pamplona has a population of about 200,000. The city sits at an altitude of 1,457 feet above sea level on a hill that overlooks the Arga River and the surrounding valley. The city is famous for the San Fermin Festival each July, in which the “The Running of the Bulls” or encierro is one of the main attractions. During the rest of the year, the city has a relaxed, laid-back feel. With its tree-lined paseos and its cobble-stoned streets in the old city, Pamplona is a nice place to study Spanish.
