As S Yates says use the search function, it is the quickest way to (a) get the info you requireI've got the Brierley book, which is useful, and I browse the various websites for recommendations. Just looking for up-to-date tips from fellow travellers.
Which I believe is also the same as the statue of him that is in El Floridita in Havana. What a storied life he lived...!You can even have your picture taken with Papa Hemingway at the side bar in Cafe Iruna. There is a slightly larger than life bronze of him with an elbow on the bar, in the corner. They have preserved a section of the original bar as it was, back in the day...
When you go in the main entrance go to the right. The old bar is through an archway on the right.
And I downloaded and quickly reread The Sun Also Rises to make sure it was not just local lore or a ploy for tourists. After a while I stopped counting the times the Cafe was mentioned and how many scenes in the very short book took place there. Besides the historic and literary importance, the food is pretty good and a full dinner (with wine) is reasonably priced. And it has maintained an early 20th century appearance.Which I believe is also the same as the statue of him that is in El Floridita in Havana. What a storied life he lived...!
The second one I posted is the one in HavanaLooks like they have more than one statute...cool!
Looks like it's a different pose. Maybe the same artist?
This is the statue in Havana

Starting from Pamplona the best place for a night out before you begin the Camino is Calle San Nicolas off Plaza del Castillo. It is just packed with great tapas bars. In Puente La Reina we stayed in the Albergue de Los Padres Reparadores, which was basic but very nice. Really cheap and it has a really nice garden to chill in out the back. We had friends who stayed in Jakue who said that it was pretty good but much more expensive. We ate in the same place for lunch and dinner – Hotel Rural Bidean – lunch was a great priced Peregrino Menu, while the evening meal was very reasonable too.Bonjour / Hola!
I'm Steve from the UK and I'm walking from St Jean Pied De Port to Logrono from 26 June to 4 July next year. I would appreciate any recommendations for places to stay en route, as well as bars and restaurants that are popular with pilgrims along the way, especially in Pamplona, as I will be stopping off for a rest day there.
Thanks

I passed through Pamplona on Monday 2nd September and went to pay my respects to Mr Hemingway only to find that the entrance under the archway was closed . I hope this is only temporary !You can even have your picture taken with Papa Hemingway at the side bar in Cafe Iruna. There is a slightly larger than life bronze of him with an elbow on the bar, in the corner. They have preserved a section of the original bar as it was, back in the day...

When I was there that part of the restaurant wasn't staffed. We just sort of wandered in. It seemed crazy that they weren't promoting it.I passed through Pamplona on Monday 2nd September and went to pay my respects to Mr Hemingway only to find that the entrance under the archway was closed .
