If you’re determined to exercise your machismo, head to Pamplona for July’s weeklong running of the bulls. You’ll be in the frenzied company of up to 9,000 others on the path. If, however, you agree that enjoying the accompanying Animal House atmosphere is, um, bulls—, sign on to visit Pamplona the other 51 weeks of the year. You won’t be the first such tourist. The Romans built a garrison here in 75 A.D. (the city is named after their general, Pompey), and fascinating traces remain today. The city’s cathedral stands on the site of a former Roman temple, and the Empire’s walls still guard the city. Beyond the walls sprawl panoramic garden parks, earning Pamplona’s claim as the greenest city in all Spain. Not far from town, wineries flourish
