Camping Lizarra, Estella
Our closest camp to Pamplona is Camping Lizarra at Estella. It is just 30 minutes by coach from the city and has excellent facilities including a bar (that hardly ever closes!), restaurant, shop, regularly cleaned toilets and showers plus a huge pool. Estella itself is a large typical Spanish village with it's own bustling nightlife and sights. Definitely worth a visit...

Day 2 - Tuesday 5 July 2011
Arrive and our huge PP Pre-Pamps Party
We enter Spain around dawn. Climb the Basque Pyrenees and then drive around Pamplona onto our base at Estella (about 35km from Pamps) mid morning. There's no need to worry about putting up your tents, as they'll be up when you arrive. You also have the choice of dorms at no extra cost. (must be pre-booked). These range from 8 - 18 bedded, and are very simple with just bunks containing only a mattress. No bedding is supplied.

Now the real action starts with our huge annual PP Pre Pamps Party. We always begin the fiesta a day earlier with our exclusive evening party by the pool. With live music from Pamps legend Steve "Idiot" Werren and plenty of sangria - it is a great way to begin the party of your life.

Day 3 - Wednesday 6 July 2011
SAN FERMIN OPENING DAY!!
After breakfast we head straight into Pamplona to position ourselves for the amazing midday champagne opening ceremony. It is wild, crazy and quite unbelievable - a true Spanish fiesta begins!!!! Our coaches take you back to camp at 4.00pm to recover around the pool or party on in Pamps and return on our 7.00pm shuttle.

Day 4 - Thursday 7 July 2011
Running of the bulls and departure
Feeling brave? You'll need to be as it's a very early wake up call to head into town for the first running - as always - at 8am on the 7th of the 7th. After the run we return to Estella for breaksfast. You can then spend the rest of the day by the pool or head back into Pamplona for more of the fun.
Our coaches depart from Estella at 8.00pm, pick up from central Pamplona then drive back up through France through the night.

Day 5 - Friday 8 July 2011
Back to London
We catch a morning ferry back to Dover then drive on to London, arriving back in Central London late afternoon. You then have the rest of the weekend free to recover...
