This month's issue of Conde Nast Traveler has a very nice lengthy historical article about French Navarre and Spanish Navarra, the late Kingdom of Navarra. Well worth the read. Very nice photos as well, and for once, without the ever present bulls running down the streets of Pamplona! rolleyes

Nice discussion of Navarre/Navarra as a main pilgramige route to Santiago de Compostela.
