The Bardenas Reales are located in the south-eastern sector of Navarre, in northern Spain, within a transitional zone between the Ebro Valley and the pre-Pyrenean ranges. This semi-arid territory extends over approximately 42,000 hectares and is recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its landscape results from the interaction between extreme climatic conditions and a geological base highly susceptible to erosion, forming a terrain that reads as a continuous inscription of geological time. The visible morphology reveals undulating reliefs, ravines, and fragmented surfaces shaped by prolonged erosion acting on clays, gypsum, and sandstones. Sparse vegetation and irregular rainfall intensify these processes, while ochre and grey tones shift with light. During our stay, the landscape resisted full apprehension, suggesting the need to return.
