Bardenas Reales in our Land Rover Defender - A Pyrenees Northern Spain Road Trip

We wanted to see the Bardenas Rieles desert in northern Spain for so long and finally got the chance to drive through whilst on our way to the Pyrenees. It's perfect for 4x4s and Land Rovers and there's endless amounts of dusty tracks and gravel paths to explore. We woke up in Pamplona whilst it was still dark and drove straight to the desert to be able to photograph this landscape at sunrise. This also meant we were able to avoid the hottest part of the day which was good as the forecast said it would reach 34 degrees by lunchtime. We hope you enjoy this video. So tired. I know. But it's so nice now that it's a little bit cooler. You can actually walk around, take photos, enjoy it, let the dogs run around. We might make some... Did you get it? Yeah. Nice. That's on camera now. We might make some coffee. Yay! Good boy! What do you think of the desert so far? It's literally so cool. Like, I don't know what I expected but this is so much cooler. You know when you watch those old western films? Yeah. There should be like a whole bunch of like folks on horseback wrangling cows and catching bambits instead of just... I feel like we're in America even though we've literally never been to America. I've never seen so many sheep in my entire life. Oh it still smells like sheep as well. Doesn't it? They've got a real like waft of... Sheepiness. We just finished at like a big pasta salad lunch. They're all full of food. And it's like 35 degrees and we're so hot. But we just looked on Google. There's a reservoir that dogs can swim in. So we're going to go over there now and then just cool off. Yeah we're all a bit... A bit hot and sticky. Roasted. Yeah, next time you see us we'll be floating.
