The Navarre Region is an autonomous community in Northern Spain. It borders the La Rioja Region of Spain and Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France. It is an area full of history and tradition and its capital city is Pamplona. The Region is very diverse in geography with craggy mountains that roll of into flowing rivers. The beautiful mountain slopes have many cattle pastures and vast forests that include hardwoods, which are important economically. The valleys produce sugar beets, cereals, and vegetables; vineyards are also important in some of the valley areas. Industrialization has increased since the 1950's as a result of hydroelectric energy and entrepreneurship.
