7 Best Places to Shop in Pamplona, The Basque Country, Navarra, and La Rioja

Donézar is a beloved confitería (candy shop) and cerería (chandlery) that rang in its 171st anniversary last year. Behind its timeworn wooden countertops, the store stocks some of the finest artisanal jams in Spain as well as peanut guirlache (brittle), turrón (nougat), yemas (eggy bonbons), and polvorones (sugar-dusted almond cookies). The top-quality candles are made by hand and come in various sizes and neutral tones.  

This well-curated boutique run by young designers is the city's top spot to buy handmade jewelry and accessories, kitchenware, couture garments, and eye-catching stationery.

Owned by a former Camino pilgrim, this small store stocks everything and anything a hiker embarking on the Camino de Santiago could need, from backpacks, boots, hiking socks, and walking sticks to smaller but equally necessary items like blister ointment, rain ponchos, and sporks.

Here you can buy La Cafetera toffee, a local café con leche–flavored sweet. The shop also sells Navarran wine and other delicacies.

Come here to buy delicacies from across Navarra, including wines, sweets, cured meats, and cheeses, as well as a variety of bull-themed T-shirts and paraphernalia.

This chain is famous for colorful pop-art T-shirt prints with San Fermín and Basque themes. There's another outpost at Mercaderes 19.

You can buy botas (traditional wineskins) in most Navarrese towns, but Pamplona's Olentzero gift shop sells the best brand, Las Tres Cetas, written "ZZZ."
