Valtierra walks

This short stroll will give you a complete and highly exotic overview of what the Bardenas desert has to offer in terms of difficulties and landscapes, and is sure to be an unforgettable experience. The desert is open from 8.00 a.m. until one hour before sunset. Depending on the bird nesting season, there is strictly no access to certain parts of the desert.

Situated in the Bardenas Reales desert, this castle is said to have served, according to legend, as a prison for Doña Blanca of Navarre, who is said to have refused the husband chosen for her by her father, Juan II of Aragon.

A round trip to discover the spectacular Balcón de Pilatos. The more adventurous can venture up for the superb views that give the place its name, but there are no marked paths and the slope is severe.

A loop to climb the Tres Mugas, the highest point in the Bardenas Reales, then pass the foot of Puy Águila.

A round trip takes you to the Peña del Fraile, from where you can enjoy a marvellous 360° view of the Bardena Negra, less well-known but less frequented than the Bardena Blanca. The path is relatively well marked, with numerous cairns along the way.
