Events in Pamplona

One event a year moves hotel prices in Pamplona, and this is what it does to them. Where to stay, how long each district is from the venue, and how to get here.

Where to stay

Calle Estafeta & Plaza Consistorial

District	To the venue	Price	What it is
Casco Viejo	5 min walk	$$$$	The old town is the festival; the encierro runs past the door and nobody sleeps
Primer Ensanche	15 min walk	$$$	The nineteenth-century grid south of the walls; ten minutes out, quieter nights
Iturrama & the university	25 min walk	$$	Residential Pamplona, apartments rather than hotels, and sleep after 3am
San Sebastián	70 min drive	$$$$	An hour north on the coast; the overflow with the best food in Spain
Logroño & Tudela	90 min drive	$$	An hour and a half south, where a bed costs what a bed costs
