Blog Post: Burgette to Puente La Reina

Comment: Puente la Reina lies between Pamplona and Estella on the Way of St. James pilgrimage route. Pamplona is famous for running of the bulls as part of the San Fermín festival.

Puente la Reina is a small town with a population of 2500 and is typical of the region. The central medieval area has limited access for vehicles but is packed with bars, restaurants and hotels. The large medieval arch bridge over the river is a must visit place as the sun sets.
