The Bardenas Reales Natural Park is a unique semi-desert landscape that sprawls across 42,500 hectares in south-eastern Navarre. It was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in the year 2000 and it includes three Natural Reserves. The Natural Park is a pseudo-steppe landscape sculpted over millions of years, which, just 70 kilometers away from the peaks of the Pyrenees, has flora and fauna more appropriate to an African desert than the north of the Iberian Peninsula.
