Bardenas Reales

The Lagunazo de Moncayuelo is a body of water in the Bardenas Reales, revealing a different side of this semi-desert. Here, away from the park's busier routes, you can peacefully observe nature and birdlife. Our tip: In spring and autumn, temperatures are more pleasant. Come in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

The Centro de Visitantes de la Bardena Aragonesa is located in the former school of Valareña, a colonization village in the municipality of Ejea de los Caballeros in Aragon. It provides information about the Aragonese part of the Bardena, which borders the Bardenas Reales Natural Park in Navarra. Here you'll find information on marked hiking and cycling routes. Our tip: Stop by before your tour to get information on weather and possible closures. For the Navarrese Natural Park, the information center near Arguedas is the first point of contact.

The Casa del Colono is a simple building in the Bardenas, which serves as a stop on a tour through the Nature Park. Our Tip: In the early morning or late afternoon, the light is soft and the temperatures are more pleasant.

The freestanding rock pillar in Bardena Blanca is the park's landmark, protected since 1999 and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2000. A harder cap protects the soft clay tower, but faster erosion of its flanks means it will vanish. You reach it via the western dirt track; the information center is at Arguedas.
