The city of Pamplona is located in the very center of Navarre and a large part of it is surrounded by the river Arga.
This city can boast of being built for living in. It has approximately 200,000 inhabitants and has over 4,000,000 square meters dedicated to parks and gardens, which makes it one of Europe's greenest cities.
In spite of being a relatively small city it enjoys enormous prestige for the quality of both its universities and its health system.
This has turned Pamplona into a venue for scientific, technical, business, health and cultural conferences. There are two state universities in Pamplona: the Public University of Navarre and the Distance Learning University. The private sector is represented by the University of Navarre.
Another aspect that helps to elevate the quality of life in Pamplona is its excellent public and private health service. Pamplona can consider itself a privileged city due to the variety and quantity of cultural and leisure activities on offer, its streets full of buildings of artistic-historical interest, its rich and varied gastronomy, its world-famous festivals of San Fermín, its respect fo the environment and, of course, the friendliness of its people.
