Pamplona (Spanish: [pamˈplona]) or Iruña (Basque: [iɾuɲa], alternative spelling: Iruñea, IPA: [iɾuɲea]) is the historical capital city of Navarre, in Spain, and of the former Kingdom of Navarre.
The city is famous worldwide for the San Fermín festival, from July 6 to 14, in which the running of the bulls is one of the main attractions. This festival was brought to literary renown with the 1926 publication of Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises.
After the 2011 municipal elections, there are 27 councillors in Pamplona Municipality: eleven of Navarrese People's Union (Unión del Pueblo Navarro), seven of Nafarroa Bai, three of Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, three of Bildu, two of People's Party, and one of Izquierda-Ezkerra.
Pamplona is located in the middle of Navarre in a rounded valley, known as the Basin of Pamplona, that links the mountainous North with the Ebro valley. It is 92 kilometres from the city of San Sebastián, 117 kilometres from Bilbao, 735 kilometres from Paris and 407 kilometres from Madrid. The climate and landscape of the basin is a transition between those two main Navarrese geographical regions. Its central position at crossroads has served as a commercial link between those very different natural parts of Navarre.

A-Pamplona San Fermin, tra-la-la-la...
City of light, this is the city of light
Got my headphones on, tonight I feel so strong
Radio on, I've got the radio on
They play the new song, it turn me o-o-on
They had a choir, it took me higher
'Cause they sing nana...
And I'm gonna go to the city
where life is surreal and it's pretty
in Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will follow you up and tell you that I...
in Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will follow you up and tell you that I...
Matador's hat, I need a matador's hat
I need a moustache, I need it fast
I'm so inspired, give me the choir
And we'll sing nana...
So call me naive or insane
deny I will be [???]
in Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will follow you up and tell you that I...
in Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will follow you up and tell you that I'm
not a coward, not a sissy
