Where to Party
It doesn’t take much planning to have a wild
night out in Pamplona during the San Fermin fiesta. Take enough money
to last you through the night, and forget clocks and sunlight even
exist. You can generally go anywhere you like in the old quarter,
because there’ll always be a party. Here are some of the main zones
and bars to explore:
JARAUTA, SAN LORENZO
The area of Pamplona known as Jarauta embraces
several streets: San Lorenzo, Jarauta itself, the Plaza de la Virgen de
la O, the Plaza de Recoletas and the Calle Eslava. During San
Fermín, these streets are one of the hubs of the revelry, because this
is where the peñas have their premises, which is where the best
atmosphere is. You’ll encounter radio pop songs, rousing folk tunes
and silly, tongue-in-cheek pieces such as ‘Willy Fogg’, the smurf song,
and Enrique Iglesias, whose greatest hits are sung (somewhat
sarcastically) in lusty unison by all present.
CALDELERÍA
Caldelería lies just past the Plaza del Ayuntamineto and Mercaderes. It’s one of the hardest-partying areas of the city, and embraces the Calle Caldelería itself, San Agustín, Tejería, Navarrería and the cathedral district. Some bars play rock music or alternative music exclusively. The atmosphere here is very alternative and open-minded, especially in terms of the music played in the bars.
SAN NICOLÁS
San Nicolás plays mild techno to the north and,
to the south, Spanish pop and the big-name pop hits you get to hear all
over the world. The area known as San Nicolás stretches from the Calle
Ciudadela to San Gregorio, San Nicolás itself and its adjacent Comedias
and Lindachiquía, and the Rincón de San Nicolás, halfway from the Plaza
de San Nicolás and the Paseo de Sarasate.
PLAZA DEL CASTILLO (BLUE)
This area is widely held to be for a more moneyed crowd, but that doesn’t really apply during San Fermín. The music, certainly, has less of a Basque nationalist slant, and you can hear typical San Fermin music in any bar. The drinks are a little more expensive on the main plaza. All the establishments here have outdoor bars that make the entire slope a huge alfresco bar, which gets just as crowded as the other areas of the city. This area also includes a few popular, lively bars towards the end of the Calle Estafeta.
SAN JUAN AND ITURRAMA
This area is about a 15 minute walk from the old center of Pamplona. It is the cradle of salsa and nightclub music and late-night bars. The San Juan area is closest to the old quarter (10 minute walk) and is a choice for people hoping to escape the crush of the city center. San Juan and Iturrama are home to some of the best beer halls in Pamplona.
VERBENAS
A verbena has come to mean a live band playing cover versions and other party music on a stage in front of a large open space where people dance. If you don’t like crowded bars and just want to dance, you’ll find there’s more space at the verbenas. The City Hall has covered this pretty well and set aside several venues for verbenas. Plaza de la Cruz is in the segundo ensanche district. Antoniutti is the most popular verbena. The area is surrounded by restaurants and food marquees, and is halfway between San Juan and the old quarter
