Sightseeing tour in Spanish.
We want you to discover the magnificent Cathedral of Pamplona, which is the largest cathedral complex still standing in Spain today, covering more than 80,000 square metres.
We'll meet in front of the façade, which, being Neoclassical, often surprises visitors. It's actually quite unusual to come across a Neoclassical façade on the Camino de Santiago, but we'll explain why. What's more, although the façade is Neoclassical and the writer Victor Hugo hated it, the interior is Gothic, and that same writer was fascinated by what he found inside!
Weather permitting, we'll go up the Cathedral tower, from where we'll enjoy fantastic panoramic views of Pamplona. What's more, if it's a clear day, you can see the French Pyrenees!! And not only that, but we'll also be next to the María Bell, the largest bell in Spain still in use.
We'll continue our visit through the nave. We don't want to overwhelm you with the names of saints, so don't worry. We'll tell you them if you want, but we'll mainly focus on the interesting facts that make this beautiful monument special: the tomb of Charles III and Eleanor, where the foundation stone was laid, … and a few more surprises.
And finally, we'll reach the cloister, considered one of the finest Gothic cloisters in Europe from the early 13th century. Its doorways, its refectory, one of the few remaining medieval kitchens in Europe, and many more things that we want to share with you on this tour.
