Camping Lizarra, Estella
The best 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 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 a massive party week.

Day 3 - Wednesday 6 July 2011
San Fermin Opening Day
Get ready for probably the wildest party day of your life! After breakfast we transfer you into Pamplona with plenty of time to get your position for amazing opening ceremony. The party atmosphere in Pamplona this afternoon is truly incredible and you'll be right in the middle of it!! At noon the rocket goes off to signal the start of the fiesta of San Fermin - and what follows is truly amazing. We provide a choice of free shuttles departures from Pamplona back to the camp later in the afternoon where the DJ will be pumping music beside the bar and pool till LATE.......

Day 4 - Thursday 7 July 2011
First Running of the Bulls
Feeling brave? You'll need to be because at dawn our coaches roll into town for the first running - as always - at 8am on the 7th of the 7th.
It is now recovery time and there is no better place for some well deserved R&R than on the magnificent northern Spanish coast. After returning to Estella following the Bull Run, we pack up and head to coastal town of Zarautz, just 15km from San Sebastian. Here we stay at our terrific beach-side camp Talai-Mendi for the next two nights.

Beach Camp at Zarautz
Our camp is just a few minutes walk from the magnificent Zarautz surf beach with stunning views of the green Basque mountains that cling to the coast. Its facilities include bar, restaurant, shop excellent shower facilities and free Wi-Fi. All passengers will be accommodated in tents at Zarautz.

Day 6 - Saturday 9 July 2011
