That's easier said than done, especially if you are not a Spanish (or EU) citizen. eek But first, understand that Navarra is not one of the Basque Provinces. Yes, it's where the Basques (AKA 'Saracens') defeated the French Army under the command of Charlemagne's son, Roland after troops of that Army had committed many atrocities during their 'rape' of Pamplona. Their defeat is documented in Chanson de Roland.

You'll find that it's as different as night & day from Norman, Oklahoma where I spent several years of my young life earning various degrees and enjoying Oklahoma football. To the best of my knowledge, you won't encounter any tornados in the area you are looking at (although I have seen some violent summer thunderstorms). rolleyes
