No guests for a few days, so we took the opportunity to have a couple of days away in our VW Campervan. Phil had heard of the semi desert area in the Navarre region of Spain and it looked like an interesting place to visit. All packed, dogs ready (Buster waiting patiently), we set off!

We took the easy option to cross the Pyrenees using the Somport Tunnel which lead us to Pamplona and then south to Bardenas Realas Natural Park. We visited the information centre only to be told that the Park was shutting in half an hour and did not allow camping so we set off to a town nearby where we where told campers were allowed. It turned out to be the car park of the sports centre but that suited us well for that night.

After a quiet night we made an early start for the desert area and were rewarded with a fine sunny day with very few other visitors.
