Top choice in Pamplona
Opened on the eve of Sanfermines in 1888, Café Iruña’s dominant position on the main square, powerful sense of history and belle époque decor make this by far the most famous watering hole in the city. In addition to a long list of wine and spirits, it also has a superb range of pintxos and light meals.
Hemingway was a regular here – indeed, he helped immortalise the place in his novel The Sun Also Rises.
