We walked around the city walls from the Museum of Navarra and on to the Citadel. It was a really enjoyable and invigorating experience. We had lovely views over the river and the very green landscape that is this city from the (very formidable) old walls, walked between majestic matures, trees and past flower gardens in full bloom and then an 'urban farm' with deer, swans, turkeys, geese and other domestic fowl wandering around. After a while we reached the extraordinary and vast old defensive site of the Citadel (in the 16th century it was a a full pentagon, now it's half a pentagon). Here the land-use pattern changes as inside the citadel is more expansive and open. As well as functioning as an open-air art gallery, the citadel is a recreational space for locals, walking their dogs, relaxing on the benches or the lawns, or maybe teaming up for scratch games of football. No doubt it is now a great asset for this beautiful city,
