Two Weeks in Navarra - 05/29/07 04:42 PM
I expect to spend the last week of June and the first week of July in Navarra. I lived in Pamplona thirty years ago and plan only to pass through the city (and pass up the festival). My interest is in the countryside and the villages. I will be backpacking, expect to travel by bus, hike and perhaps hitchhike (if that's advisable). My Spanish is rusty but it's coming back.
Any recommendations for valleys to visit (I'm thinking Salazar and Roncal, wondering about Bidasoa and Baztan), towns time has passed by, hikes not to be missed? Should I spend a day in Estella, where I've never been? Can I get the appropriate trail maps in Pamplona?
Thanks for your help,
