How do we make TRAIN RESERVATIONS to Pamplona?

The website www.renfe.com is Spain's train schedule site......However, please know that the train schedules are NOT posted until 61 days prior to the departure date. For example, if you want to buy train tickets for a Madrid to Pamplona trip on July 5th, check with the www.renfe.com website on May 5th...Trains in Spain are very punctual, clean and quite economical. Enjoy!

What about PARKING during the sanfermines??

Many of you have been asking about where to park a vehicle during the very crowded dates of the sanfermines -
If you plan to bring a car to Pamplona, please know that all streets in the old city are blocked to traffic, during the fiesta dates of July 5th through, and including, the 14th. Parking is sometimes available at the airport; along the perimeter of the Parque de la Taconera; and in the residential area called "Rochapea", across the Río Arga from the old city, and about a 15 minute walk to the fiesta. Here is a link which will show you the Rochapea area: http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLJ_enUS311US311&q=rochapea+pamplona+spain
Please be aware that leaving a car for several days, or even overnight, may be risky.
