Tudela is a municipality in Spain, the second city of the autonomous community of Navarre. Its population is around 40,000. Tudela is conveniently sited in the Ebro valley. Fast trains running on two-track electrified railways serve the city and two important freeways (AP 68 & AP 15) join close to it. Tudela is the capital of the "Ribera Navarra", the agricultural region of lower Navarre. The 12th century traveller Benjamin of Tudela and the 13th century writer William of Tudela were from the city. On November 23, 1808, Napoleon Bonaparte's Marshall Lannes won the Battle of Tudela in the Peninsular War.
