Tourism

The visitor to Navarre can experience the taste of times gone by. This is a land which has preserved a traditional culinary repertoire stocked by the produce yielded by the diverse Navarran landscape, and which turns food into a social event. But the region’s cuisine has also evolved and been rejuvenated, and is the benchmark for the gourmet who doesn’t want to miss out on creations from our best chefs.
