The Bardenas Reales offer a surprising trek: spectacular landscapes, plains and canyons with strange shapes worthy of western settings; all this from a friendly accommodation.The spectacular and unusual landscapes of the Sierra de Guara, to discover comfortably from the magnificent village of Alquezar, in a remarkable hotel, with a typical and delicious gastronomy.
Just a stone’s throw from the Pyrenees, the Bardenas offer an “absolute change of scenery”, transporting you into an extraordinary, unreal world. Steppe landscapes, fairy chimneys, ruiniform reliefs, labyrinthine mazes and canyons… This place will never cease to amaze, surprise and move you. A land of history, conquest and defense, where bandits often found refuge.
Fortified villages and monasteries, whose bell towers have been colonized by storks, punctuate this original hike. Every day, starting from a small, comfortable, friendly and welcoming rural hotel, you’ll discover the intimacy of the Bardenas desert, with its strange and never monotonous places. Alquezar, “The Fortress” of Al Andalus, is the result of an extraordinary collision of civilizations, cultures, elements and climates. Natural forces have combined to create a grandiose landscape: ochre walls, mazes of canyons with turquoise waters, fields of obelisks and lacy white limestone.
