History

Main article: Kingdom of Navarre

A chapel in Roncesvalles

During the time of the Roman Empire, the territory of the province was inhabited by the Vascones, a pre-Roman tribe who inhabited the southern slopes of the Pyrenees. The tribe managed to keep its Basque language and traditions under the Romans. The area was never fully subjugated, either by the Visigoths or by the Arabs. In 778 a Frankish army was defeated by the Basques in the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. In 824 the chieftain Iñigo Arista (also Eneko Aritza) was chosen king of Pamplona which laid the foundations of the Kingdom of Navarre. The kingdom reached its zenith during the reign of Sancho III of Navarre and covered the areas of the present-day Navarre, Basque Country, La Rioja, Cantabria; parts of Castilla y Leon and Aragon. However, after his death the country was divided between his sons and never fully recovered. The army of Navarre took part in the decisive battle of Las Navas de Tolosa alongside the other Spanish kingdoms in 1212 after which the Muslim possessions in the Iberian Peninsula were reduced to a small territory in the south-east. Navarre was finally absorbed into the united Spanish Kingdom in 1513 and a small area to the north of the Pyrenees eventually became part of France. The former state obtained some specific rights after its incorporation in united Spain. The Kingdom of Navarre (Basque: Nafarroako Erresuma) was a European state which occupied lands on either side of the Pyrenees alongside the Atlantic Ocean. ...

Climate

The climate of Navarre mixes influences from the Pyrenees mountains and Ebro river valley, creating a great difference between the climates of the north (much more humid and with frequent rainfall) and of the south (more Mediterranean with higher temperatures and more sporadic precipitation).

Cultural heritage

Monastery of Leire

Navarre is a mixture of its ancient tradition and Mediterranean influences coming from the Ebro. The Ebro valley is amenable to wheat, vegetables, wine, and even olive trees, as in Aragon and La Rioja. It was a part of the Roman Empire, and in the Middle Ages it became the taifa kingdom of Tudela. During the Reconquista, the Northerners extended southwards. In the Middle Ages, Pamplona was a crossroads for Gascons from beyond the Pyrenees and Romance speakers.

Energy policy

In addition, the region had what was then Spain's largest photovoltaic power plant at Montes de Cierzo de Tudela (1.2 MWp capacity), plus several hundred smaller photovoltaic installations.
