The regulation now adopted provides that tourist accommodation may only be installed on the first floor of the buildings and provided that they do not occupy more than 25% of the property. The regulations are oriented towards the Casco Viejo, and in this case, for example, it prevents someone from buying – as is happening – all or part of the building and using it as a tourist dwelling.

On the contrary, the regulations run the risk that the first plants will be tourist or can drive it forward. In two- or three-storey buildings it will be difficult to open new ones if there is one before, but most of the buildings in the Casco Viejo do not have tourist homes on its first floors and they will be able to do with this regulation.

According to data from the Government of Navarra, in 2017, 295 homes, accommodation, hotels and the like were registered in Pamplona, of which 140 were in the Casco Viejo, which represents 47% of the total. It is also known that there are many other homes that cultivate tourism but are not registered.

Among other things, in recent years tourism has influenced the increase in housing rentals in the Casco Viejo, and it has been a large part of the population that has been forced to leave the neighborhood, especially immigrants or young people. According to the recent report of the real estate Idealista.com on rent prices in the Spanish state, in the last 12 years Donostia-San Sebastián and Pamplona/Iruña have been the places where rent prices have risen the most.

Unzu Hostel now has open doors

As for accommodation and hotels, the recently approved regulations provide that they can be carried out in any building, provided that they do not reach more than 25% of the block. This paragraph was adopted with the abstention of EH Bildu. According to this, hotels and accommodation can potentially be built in many buildings in the Casco Viejo.

The regulations have opened the doors to hospitality in the building that was formerly the Unzu Point of Sale. This accommodation would have between 200 and 300 places and the project has created a great posture against the neighborhood's neighbors and neighbors. This section of the regulation, led by Joseba Asiron in the last legislature, regulated the opening of new accommodation depending on distances and therefore the Unzuko project did not comply with the standard. With what we do now.

While the regulation was being discussed, residents concentrated in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento de Pamplona/Iruña and denounced that the regulations approved will not be enough to counteract the effects of the tourist attraction. Video made by Ahotsa.info here.
