Las Bardenas Reales

The Natural Park of Bardenas Reals, located in the southeast of Navarra, bordering Aragon, was declared a Natural Park in 1999 and a Biosphere Reserve in 2000. The Bardenas Reals Natural Park is a semi-desert landscape, and a large amount of precipitation has carved the sandy land into peculiar shapes, making it one of the most worthwhile deserts in Europe. The park is divided into several different areas, with the main areas including WhiteBardena and BlackBardena. WhiteBardena is the central area, mostly desert, dotted with some plains and canyons. BlackBardena is located in the southeastern part of the region, on the border of the Autonomous Community of Aragon. Formed by plateaus of varying heights, there are many rivers at the bottom of the cliffs. This is also the filming location of "Game of Thrones", and the wild Dothraki Sea in the play was filmed here.
