Hiking

Car park in the Bardenas Reales Natural Park, semi-desert in southern Navarre. It is worth hiking from here to the summit of Peña del Fraile, very nice view of the unusual landscape, which consists largely of ocher-colored clay. This is the remnant of a prehistoric sea that gradually silted up due to the tectonic uplift of the Iberian plate.
