Navarre

Navarre extends from the Pyrenean mountain range to the Ebro River valley, with landscapes including forests, plains, and mountain peaks reaching 2,428 meters.

The territory originated from the medieval Kingdom of Navarre, established in the 9th century, and maintained special administrative rights after its incorporation into Spain in 1512.

The region combines Spanish and Basque influences in its languages, traditions, and festivals, with Pamplona serving as the primary center of cultural activities.

The region operates under distinct fiscal policies, managing its own tax collection and maintaining independent financial agreements with the central Spanish government.

The Irati Forest within Navarre contains the second-largest beech and fir forest in Europe, spanning over 17,000 hectares across the western Pyrenees.
