Discovering the Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales

When the American Western movies’ producers had to film in Spain had plenty of options to choose. Most of them opted for Almería, but in the north of Navarre one can find the most enigmatic point of the geography of the country: the Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales. This area of 42,000 hectares is located southeast of the autonomous region, on the border with Aragon.

One can see forms of the most unique landscapes of the peninsula, which are the heritage of centuries of wind erosion and water flow. The result: a moon-like aspect in some places, another general desert ravines with many isolated peaks, some of then ressembling human or animal forms.

The park, measuring 45 km. long by 25 km wide, was subdivided in different “bardenas”, depending on the landscape and topography. There are lots of different bardenas within the own bardenas: cereal-growing areas, animal grazing areas, inaccessible areas and land now used as routes for cyclists (El Paso del Ciervo).
