TOUR IN SPANISH.
We want you to get to know the wonderful Cathedral of Pamplona, which is the largest cathedral complex currently preserved in Spain, with more than 80,000 square metres.
We'll meet in front of the facade, which, being neoclassical, usually surprises visitors. It's not common to find a neoclassical façade on the Camino de Santiago, but we'll explain why. Also, even though the facade is neoclassical and the writer Victor Hugo hated it, the interior is Gothic, and that same writer was fascinated by what he found inside!
If the weather permits, we'll climb the Cathedral tower, from where we'll enjoy fantastic views of Pamplona. Also, if the day is clear, you can see the Pyrenees in France!! And not only that, but we'll be next to the Campana María, the largest bell in use in Spain.
We'll continue our visit through the central nave. We don't want to bombard you with names of saints, so don't worry, we'll tell you if you want, but we'll focus mainly on the curiosities that make this beautiful monument special: the tomb of Carlos III and Leonor, where the first stone was laid, and some more surprises.
And finally, we'll reach the cloister, considered one of the best Gothic cloisters in Europe from the early 13th century. Its portals, its refectory, one of the few medieval kitchens left in Europe, and many more things we want to share with you on this visit.
