"Festival de los Tres Burgos"

[rappahannock_rev]

In September 2012 I arrived at Pamplona to discover a really spectacular public to-do going on. The Festival de los Tres Burgos', celebrating the union of three walled and competing neighborhoods into the city of Pamplona as we know it. Processions, gigantes, medieval markets, and all that. Loved every minute of it!

I'm considering a September 2023 Frances of some sort, and see that on September 8th Pamplona is celebrating the "Privilege of the Unions."

Same thing?

Thank you, Kathar1na! I think that I'd like to see the gigantes again, one last time... Will plan accordingly.

That is an awesome festival, and where I learned I hated pigs ears!

While you're in the Basque area, don't miss the Fiesta in Viana (last town before Logrono) for 5 days starting the second weekend of September. There were 8 different gigantes that paraded through town daily during those 5 days!
