To rest of noise and music of Festival you could visit the little 'Media Luna' park inside of ancient walls of the XV Century and near 'Club Taurino'. Or stroll through the small and beautiful park 'La Vuelta del Castillo', style New York Central Park. You can also go down to the little river Arga, near 'Plaza de Toros'. And I would like to suggest something special to you. Would you like to see an ancient Basque-Navarran village? Why do not you visit the small town Burguete and fishing like Hemingway did in 1924?
