This is a week-long, circular route, for moderate cyclists wanting to roll down slopes and ravines in a unique environment such as las Bardenas Reales.
We pedal thoroughly this Biosphere Reserve, with its semi-desert landscapes, where clays, gypsum and sandstone erosion has sculpted whimsical shapes and ravines, flat plateaus and lonely hills. From Tudela, we go through the Bardenas Reales Natural Park until we return to the banks of the river Ebro.
Since 2000 the Bardenas Reales are a Biosphere Reserve.
This route runs through Bardenas Reales, a site classified as SCI (Site of Community Importance) in the Natura 2000 network.
