LEGEND
HITOS
The name of Corralillos del Gas (Gas Corral) comes from the existence at the site of a gas factory in the XIX century. The factory was built in 1861 to supply street lighting and homes in the Rochapea district. During the Third Carlist War (1872-1876), the factory ran out of raw material and had to shut down. It started production again a few years later before closing down for good at the end of the XIX century. In 1899, the City Council decided to use the gas factory to house the Castilian and Andalusian bulls brought to Pamplona for the fiestas, Navarrese breeders using the Sario corral. The area has been known as the “gas corral” ever since. The corral itself was provisional until 1918, when a permanent corral was built. The last remains of the old factory were pulled down in 1943 and the current corral was built in 2003. The complex consists of six enclosures next to each other and another one further to the north, all fitted out to meet the needs of the San Fermin fiesta.
