    Have you heard of this natural, picturesque landscape in the north of Spain<\/a>? In the region of Navarra you\u2019ll find this beautiful Europe national park. With impressive canyons, vast deserts and weird yet amazingly beautiful rock formations, you\u2019ll be the envy of all your Instagram followers for snapping these breathtaking views. Not only that, you can tick a Game of Thrones filming location off your list (and pretend to be a real Dothraki while you\u2019re there).<\/p>\n

    The Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales is a unique semi-desert thanks to its rare formation of rocks, sprawling terrain, contrast of dry and wet climate and its former state as an ocean.<\/p>\n

    Climb up the canyons and visit the Castil de Tierra, an exuberant funnel-shaped rock formation that looks like a little mountain of cream (and it really is the icing on the cake in this park). The best way to explore the Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales is by car \u2013 just don\u2019t forget to take plenty of water with you! So, get your friends together and rent some wheels \u2013 it\u2019s road trip time. Who needs a trip to Nevada when you can go to Navarre?<\/p>\n

    You can get to the Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales from San Sebastian<\/a> in about three hours, and it\u2019s just over an hour from Pamplona by car. As it\u2019s pretty isolated, it\u2019s only really accessible from the major cities by car.<\/p>\n

    The park is open from 8am to an hour before sunset and is free to enter. For more information and specific\u00a0seasonal times, check out their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
