The Bardenas Reales Natural Park, a unique semi-desert landscape sprawls across 42,500 hectares in south-eastern Navarre. Behind its barren and inhospitable appearance lie tremendous natural treasures; for example, it encompasses three Nature Reserves.
Water, limestone and clay have sculpted spectacular shapes which take you into a world that is almost moon-like in appearance that is fashioned by gullies, smooth plateaux and solitary outcrops.
The capricious shapes and the unsettling aridity of the area have inspired painters and writers, and it was once the hideout of bandits and other legendary characters.
It has also been the scene of television commercials and films such as Airbag, Mutant Action, Pride and Passion and The World is Not Enough. Indeed, a unique destination for visiting on foot, horseback or by bicycle.
