The city’s history is reflected in the river Ega, whose murmur whispers stories spoken in the languages of those who inhabited it—Hebrew, Basque, Castilian and dialects that only the ancient wind knows and understands but are perceived in the hollows of the city’s walls and in the magical stele left by the pilgrims who visit the city—a site that promises all kinds of happiness. At the end of our stay, we can confirm it started with a smile on the lips and the promise to return.

The ancient Calagurris is Roman in heart and medieval structure, with its unique curving streets and its streets that lead nowhere, framed in the atmosphere of modest houses, but full of the charm of the city’s history. Moreover, magnificent medieval fortifications surround this millenary city. On the wall, you will find viewpoints from where you can appreciate the beautiful views of the Ebro river.

Put on comfortable shoes and get ready to be surprised by the corners of this beautiful city.

You cannot think of Tudela without evoking the traveler Benjamin, who was originally from this beautiful city. It is that when traveling and knowing it, it is easy to understand that such a city can only conceive extraordinary people. There is something in the light that illuminates the city that causes a renewed mental amplitude and gives us the necessary impulse to start new adventures. A city of contrasts and varied colors, Tudela deserves to be visited not only during the day but also under its nocturnal moon. She whispers stories that dreams reveal at dawn in poems made of grass, stone, and water.
