Pamplona (Spanish: [pamˈplona]; French: Pampelune; English: Pampeluna) 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 running of the bulls during the San Fermín festival, which is held annually from July 6 to 14. This festival was brought to literary renown with the 1926 publication of Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises.
After the 2015 municipal elections, there are 27 seats in Pamplona's municipal council: ten of Navarrese People's Union (Unión del Pueblo Navarro), five of EH Bildu, five of Geroa Bai, three of the Socialist Party of Navarre, three of Aranzadi (supported by Podemos), 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 km (57 mi) from the city of San Sebastián, 117 km (73 mi) from Bilbao, 735 km (457 mi) from Paris and 407 km (253 mi) 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
