Tabernas Ravine

Highlight • River

Very good to drive sand gravel path

Translated by Google •

Tip by

4.06 km

The badlands of the Tabernas Desert are a perfect place to get lost for a while in one of Europe's most unique geological landscapes. Here you walk among clay hills, narrow ravines, and sharp ridges that have been formed over millions of years by the erosion of water and wind. The terrain is made of clays, marls, and gypsum, fragile materials that break down easily and create that almost lunar appearance.
