I will be returning to Pamplona in May and if I have not received my "retired" visa yet can stay for 3 months (IF I have the visa then maybe 6 months!). I have not had much luck finding anything that I can afford (is 450 to 500 euros possible!). It does not have to be in the center of Pamplona but would like it to be "convenient" as will not have a car. Any suggestions for the "hunt" or is it better to wait until I am there, stay in a hostal a few days and check out the agencies?

Addendum: I forgot to mention that I want a 1 bedroom place! My wife is "waiting" in Pamplona with friends for my return but "we" cannot stay with them. I will be applying for an immigration visa for her to return to the US with me so the apartment is needed to "wait" for the US Embassy to respond!! We do not have to stay in Pamplona so if someone knows of a great place with easy access to Madrid (or in Madrid) to rent an apartment (re. above) PLEASE let me know. Thanks.
