Where to stay in Ermitagaña
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Ermitagaña keeps few paid rooms. Visitors who want a bed within walking distance of the Citadel of Pamplona or the Church of San Lorenzo book in central Pamplona and treat this district as the quieter edge they return to. Barañain lies alongside.
If your reason for coming is the University Museum of Navarra or the Museum of Zoology, this side is the practical base and the old core becomes the evening trip instead.
