The "Gothic town" of Olite, the residence of choice of the Kings of Navarre in the 15C, stands in the shadow of a castle that is so enormous it could pass for a medieval city. Formerly fortified, as you can tell from the handful of towers and gates still in evidence, the centre is now for pedestrians only. Stroll about the lively streets and enjoy the tastings proposed by the many bodegas - this is, after all, a serious wine-growing town.
