The region (Nafarroa in Basque) with the capital Pamplona in the north of Spain covers 10,385 km² and is the part of the historic kingdom of Navarre located south of the Pyrenees. In the north, the main Pyrenean ridge forms the border with France. It borders the Basque Country to the west, Rioja to the south and Aragon to the east.

History

In 905, King Sancho I founded his own kingdom of Navarre (Nafarroa in Basque) with Pamplona as its capital. In its heyday under Sancho III (990-1035), it stretched from Barcelona to Bordeaux on both sides of the Pyrenees. The first inhabitants were the Basques, whose influence can still be felt today.
