Trip around Pamplona

nelo136 — 2015-04-25 16:33:00 UTC

This will be my seven day trip around Pamplona while the running of the bulls is also taking place. While I'm there i will also be looking and some of the tourist attractions that are around the city. It is Important to know that i will have to use a different currency while I'm there which is the Euro and 1 Euro is equal to 1.09 US Dollar. They also have a president who's name is Mariano Rajoy Brey

Leaving from Greensboro

On the day that I leave I would be able to collect my things and pack that day since my flight wouldn't leave until 6 in the afternoon. I would be preparing what i would wear for the week that I will be spending in Pamplona, Spain since I would be going there in the middle of the summer I would have to dress accordingly.

Arival/Hotel

I would be getting there the next day after a long flight which would have taken me 20 hours to get there. From the airport i would head over to the hotel that i would have booked which was Cross Elorz and i will be staying here for six nights which would only be a total of $85 a night and it would be $469 for my entire trip there.

1st Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 20:45:40 UTC

My first day in Spain would consist of me getting into my hotel room and maybe picking up some dinner since i would get there around 8 at night meaning i would be too tired to do much so i would check in and since i haven't checked any of the restaurants around Pamplona i would go to a McDonald's since its the easiest way to get dinner in a country that I'm not familiar with. La comida no era de la ciudad pero era algo mientras you llegava al hotel.

Bellow is a picture of the hotel i would stay in:

2nd Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 20:49:27 UTC

Today was going to be an exciting day since it would be the day that i go to the running of the bulls even that would be at Calle Santo Domingo which is where the runners start when the San Cernin strikes eight o" clock is when it starts. The run doesn't take that long however normally three to four minuets but if one of the bulls gets separated it can take up too ten.

Below is a picture of the runners and the clock tower that announces when they start

4 Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 21:06:41 UTC

After a long night i wanted to sleep in so i couldn't make it to another day of the running of the bulls event and i woke up later than expected at which was at 12 in the afternoon. I didn't want to let a single day go to waist while I'm here so i decided to go and have a walk around the city and get something to eat. I end up at the Rodero restaurant which was very pricey but i would say that it was worth everything. There was still some sunlight out after i was finished eating so i decided to go to the Plaza del Castillo which I had an amazing time at and would recommend anyone that visits Pamplona to to this area in town, however i had to go to bed early so i could go to the next running of the bulls. Corriendo con los toros me dava miedo pero esra muy divertido.

2nd Day Continued

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 21:06:59 UTC

After that i would go and have lunch at El Restaurante de Baluarte which is said to have an amazing view while you eat there and is one of the places that i would love to go to while I'm there in Pamplona since it is also no as expensive as some restaurants. After that i would go back to my hotel room and get ready for my afternoon in the Museo de Navarra which used to be a former medieval hospital. A mi me encanta la historia poreso fui a este lugar

End of Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 21:22:17 UTC

At the end of the day i just got into my hotel room and decided to sleep after such a long day but i was looking forward towards my next day in spain

Day 3

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 21:23:16 UTC

Today i decided not to go to the running of the bulls just so i can see more around hte town and to catch up with food since i skipped dinner last night since i was tired from the day before. That morning i decided to go to a fast food place since i wanted to go ahead and start my day with the sight seeing. that day i decided to go to the Fortress and walls of Pamplona which is one of the few things that you can do while there but i choose it because i wanted to become familiar with the country i was in. i managed to stay there just until the late afternoon in which i went to go and get a quick lunch/dinner at a fast food place because i wanted to go out and experience the local night life. La plaza estava ermosa por la noche.

5th Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 22:59:55 UTC

Today i made sure to wake up early in order to make it to the running of the bulls that day and see if i could participate in it. After looking at the regulations i entered the race and managed to get through the entire thing without getting hurt by any of the bulls. Lucky me. After that i stayed around there until it was around lunch time and in order to save some more money after eating at an expensive restaurant yesterday i ate some fast food and then decided to go sight seeing again. This time i decided to go to La Morea which is a mall in Pamplona which i really enjoyed my time in it, in there i found a huge food court where i ate again and i also bought a few things for myself to remember this trip by. Habia un monton de personas en La Morea, parecia que todos se estavan diviertendo.

6th Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 23:06:32 UTC

Today being my last day that i will be able to do anything in this city i decide to spend most of it at the even i was here to experience which was the running of the bulls. After a wonderful morning i decided to go out to eat to Restaurante Europa where i spent the most I've spent on food here since there was so much i couldn't order just one thing, afterwards i decided to go to the mall again because i realized i still had a lot more spending money than i though so i decided to buy some souvenir for some friends as well at the end of the day i decide to go to the Plaza del Castillo since it was such a wonderful evening i had before i wanted to enjoy it again. After a long night i finally get back to my hotel room and get ready to leave the next day. Ahoy fue el dia que yo gaste mucho dinero en comida porque me encanto lo que comi.

Final Day

nelo136 — 2015-04-26 23:42:33 UTC

Daly i would have to leave today meaning i wont have enough time to go see the running of the bulls one last time however i do feel that i spent my time well here in Pamplona and would love to come again. I get to the airport early because my plane leaves at 10:30 in the morning meaning i have to get there soon. After all of this i can say that i enjoyed this trip and it is an experiance i would love to relive. You Estava muy triste quando me tuve que ir
