MWR Tour: Spa, Spanish Fiesta, and French Wine Weekend Bus Tour

2023 will be an epic festival in Pamplona, Spain, as we all celebrate a return to Running of the Bulls that occurs every July in Pamplona, Spain. The city of Pamplona is world-famous for its fiestas of San Fermín Festival.

Thousands of people go there every year to experience the risk and the thrill of the running of the bulls, a tradition immortalized by Ernest Hemingway in his novel Fiesta. Over nine days, dressed in traditional red and white costumes, locals and visitors give themselves over to the festive spirit. Every morning of the fiestas there is a parade of gigantes y cabezudos (carnival figures) around the city center.

Other events include outdoor dances, concerts, dance performances and, of course, bullfights, which are very lively thanks to the peñas or clubs cheering them on. This is a fiesta not to be missed with us!

To break up the drive, we will be stopping in the famous Spa town of Vichy, France. Take a walking tour around the town, enjoy the green areas and French wine, and soak in any spa of preference for the day. On the way back from the Fiesta, you will be stopping at Dijon, France. Dijon, famous for its mustard, is also the gateway to most prestigious Burgundy vineyards. Indeed, the reputation of the route of the 'Grands Crus' has earned it the epithet the 'Champs Elysées of Burgundy. Enjoy the interesting French food, wine, history, and architecture or book your own wine weekend bus trip.
