The Castildetierra rock formation in the Bardenas Reales of Navarra, with travellers' vans parked in the foreground and a blue sky with clouds.
Clay, wind and silence. Castildetierra rises in the Bardenas Reales like a millennial sentinel, indifferent to the vans camping at its feet. Bardenas Reales, Navarra, Spain Friday, November 10th, 2023 at 11:14 AM GMT+1Stan Laurentiu© Atelier Stan

Castildetierra in the Bardenas Reales, the lunar landscape of Navarra

Castildetierra, the most iconic rock formation of the Bardenas Reales, the semi-arid desert of Navarra that seems plucked from another planet. The eroded silhouette rises amid ochre and clay tones, defying centuries of wind, while several travellers' vans rest at the foot of the colossus as small witnesses to its overwhelming scale. A wild and cinematic landscape that invites one to lose oneself in the silence.
