It's day number 23 we had a really really bad night actually it was raining the whole night like crazy So this morning we picked up everything quite quickly just when we had this dry dry window and It's still actually not raining, which is really cool It's good and we wanted to show you quick where we where we camp because the mountains here are just awesome The mountains of Spain It was really peaceful Really cry we couldn't hear any like cars or trucks or a road next to us like it was really really nice even more cool is that We had a fox yesterday night visiting us He probably wants something to eat. Hey, and of course we fed him a little bit Doesn't look like he's too bothered about us at all Whoa, he's really chilled. Whoa Hello But seriously, he was so cute. He was like the cutest little creature in the world. I never saw a fox so close up Just not next to me. Like it was incredible. So let me show you where we're gonna head today So when we made our way from France to Spain, we made our way down through here and stay the night Here just north of Leida and now we are moving on and we are heading directly east to here So the area that we're heading today is called Las Bardenas Riales It's about 175 miles away and I'll tell you more about it on the way. So let's go Let's go. Let's go the weather over on this side Where the Pyrenees are where the mountains all are looks really really ominous. It's been threatening to rain for the whole day so far But so far we just have a few little drops coming on On the front of the helmet. So it hasn't hit us just yet But yeah, it was a little bit depressing me this morning because we arrived in Spain. It was so beautiful and sunny And then Today we wake up To this Yeah, I'm just hoping it's not going to rain like crazy Yeah, but so far I'm really impressed with the um with the landscapes here in Spain. It looks spectacular It is unbelievable, isn't it all the little hills and we drove already through a canyon and everything looks so rocky and scrubby Green and wild. Yeah, it's like the wild west of europe Yes, exactly. It feels like that we have loads of opportunities to for wild camping here around Everywhere really. I don't think we'll have a problem with wild camping Although it is uh Starting to come on my helmet now. Yes Anyway, we are prepared. We put already our rain rain covers on our rain clothes Yeah, I just need to put my rain gloves on But uh, yeah, everything else is already waterproofed up. So, um If it happens, we're ready for it. Yeah We're ready for you rain 80 miles down 100 miles to go It's too far This is our first Peuge toll in spain. So we've got to see what we have to do. What do we have to do? Oh, you could just use a card. I think. Oh, okay. Uh, you have to get my card out here then Okay, hold on Which uh, which of our many pockets is it in? I think it's this one or on the other side I'm not that one's full of crepes Do you think they take crepe as payment? Aha, there you go. Okay. Okay. Yeah So it's um two euro 45. Yep, Barry is up All right All right We just blasted our way down the highway for a little bit and uh, now we're on a smaller road And we're going to make our way towards las Bardenas Reales We've put the garment now On maximum adventure routing for the rest of this journey. It's nice. It's really refreshing I can see already a nice river next to us. Yeah, so that's that's the River Ebro, the Rio Ebro I think the Rio Ebro is a pretty big river in spain Although I'm not sure if it's the biggest river or the longest river, but I think it's up there I just turned around To show you guys this field full of stalks Nice Wow, they are massive birds Wow, when you see them up close, they're really like impressive. They are super super beautiful. Yeah Big look look there. He's turning around big big birds. Yes Yeah. Oh, I thought it was worth To turn around and show you that because uh That's really impressive. There's a lot of stalks in this area. We've seen them flying around this area I think they in this river Ebro Valley here. I think there's a whole lot of them So that's really cool to see Don't see that every day Park Natural Bardenas Realas Okay Going down here Yeah, and you can see in the background All of these deserty mountains coming up Well, this behind is The Park Natural Bardenas Realas Which I think means the real badlands the real badlands. This looks like the entrance Reserva de la biosfera This natural park is actually a UNESCO Recognized biosphere reserve So I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I think that means that it has a very unique Set of wildlife here set of flora and fauna Hola Ah, that's why it's called the badlands Ah Look in front now. Wow. You just come up over the hill and then suddenly you're like Wow, that's pretty crazy It's really like a wild west landscape It's like almost like a mini monument valley. Yes Oh, look at this in front. Wow. Oh, that's cool. Okay, we have to stop here Look at that in the European desert. Yeah, look at this So I think there's a sort of Loop that goes sort of in and around these hills So we're just going to take these little dirt roads around it and see where we end up And just look at all the pretty rock formations So there was an information board back there that we read But it was only in French and in Spanish. So from what we could gather This whole valley was created by erosion with the river Ebro at the center of all the erosion Yeah, I mean you can basically see that The land was all up there And now it's eroding down until it's down here It's a very cool wonder of geography Wow, look at this. Look at that vista. Wow Yeah, beautiful I mean, you wouldn't expect really that you would see this kind of landscape in Europe No, not like this Super cool. Oh, that looks nice. Oh, look at this area Wow Look at this Yeah, this is like a Otherworldly landscape Look at that. Wow Cool This is really the badlands of the wild west So we had a little look online And uh and looking behind us There's a large military base Or some sort of military presence here in the natural park and it says online You know, no camping anywhere in the area military zone blah blah blah So I think we're going to play it safe And I think we're going to leave the park and then try and find a camping spot Yeah, we don't really want to risk a fine Yeah, I don't know if Rangers are driving around here and Asking people to leave or whatever. We don't really know. So Yeah, just to be safe We will check out a place 30 k's from here. Yeah And yeah, see how that goes if we can pitch up our tent there. Yeah, but still like Super nice views to enjoy It's a remarkable place Yeah, yeah, it's super nice to drive around here. This is like motorbike heaven right now Yeah, it's so sad that you can't just pitch up a tent anywhere here. I mean you probably could and You could hide away. Yeah, I mean, I don't think anybody would say anything If you went off to the side or something, but yeah Yeah, hold on You know what? We were saying this morning that we saw a fox In the campsite, but look there's another one Hello Hello little guy Wow. Oh my god Goodbye, mr. Fox. Goodbye, mr. Foxy Okay Let's go Okay, we've turned off Heading for this town Castiano. I think that's what it's called But the gravel and the dirt is a little bit deeper here So it's a little bit more of an off-road Practice this one where you've got some more Deeper bits and I can feel the weight of the bike moving around underneath Oh, yeah, when you look ahead you can see the the dark dark sky Oh, no eyes the rain coming soon. Hey looks like it Yeah, we got to get out of this national park. Hey, yeah So we just did the loop which was 20 k's around this awesome area here And now we are heading out which is as well like 30 k's so you can see like how Big this area here is. Yeah. Yeah, we've pretty much explored every corner Of this place. Oh, no, it looks really wet up ahead How well let's just find our way back to the tarmac. Shall we? Oh, yes The rain is coming down Yeah, I think we're gonna hit it bad now And we still have I think 10 miles on this dirt road before we hit the tarmac again So let's just hope it doesn't get too muddy Oh, yeah, yeah, that was a bit of a strange strange one Did you did you feel the bike? Wow 210 miles so far on the GPS This was some some kind of day. Hey So it looks like we've left the national park and the road condition just got Suddenly very very full of potholes and it's very terrible And it's raining but the tarmac is ahead Yeah There we go There you go car castillo five kilometers That's where we're going to try and find our nice place to camp Now we're just heading to this monastery Where we read On iOverlander that many people stayed overnight there with no problems. This one here So we're going to go check out the parking area for this monastery and see if it looks all right to camp Oh, look there's some people here. Okay, we're going to go and ask and see if it's all right to camp here Okay, so we just asked the ladies that were hanging out over there by the front of the monastery And they showed us around and we used like google translate and we asked them. Oh, is it okay if we pitch our tent Just here in the monastery gardens just in front of the car park And they said ah sin problema sin problema. It's okay, you know, they said that a lot of people are Coming here staying the night over here Next to the monastery So that is awesome. We found our camp for the night Lavi's just a whiz with the tent. Look at that. She's just getting the tent done straight away my german efficiency Exactly we had a little break in the rain as well just as we arrived here at this monastery You see the mountains.
