Pamplona , City of Hemmingway and Running Bulls
I had a slow walk round Pamplona Sunday and to be honest, most of it is just like any other big ugly city, but the older parts have been preserved to an extent. Plus the other very important aspect is they have made it totally car free, so all the main boulevards are pedestrain only. This made the walking nice and relaxed, the old part is pretty nice but this isn't Florence and it wasn't so pretty. I managed to get to Hemmingways drinking hole and it was just a miserable little bar where he would do some drinking and writing. There was the nice town hall, old and pretty and there was a church, I don't do much with churches really but other than that it was pretty disappointing. Perhaps watching young guys getting a 12 inch horn rammed up their ass would be more fun as i feel the running of the bulls should be banned along with Bull Fighting, I feel so strongly about bull fighting i may blog just about that and cheer all the dead bull-fighters and celebrate the bull that kills their tormentors. Possibly not worth the effort to travel to and probbaly too far away from other more worthwhile places to Visit like the gorge with nesting Vultures.
