The sixth season of “Game of Thrones” has just started on HBO. This series, which has hooked half the planet, has created a whole pilgrimage for its fans who want to know all the places each episode was filmed.
In the season that just debuted this week, some of the main events occur in an area in the south of Navarre, specifically, in Tudela and the Bardenas Reales.
The Guardian, which has always been one of our first go-to sources, has given us an amazing report from the pen of Richard Eilers, who, using the excuse that this area was used for filming, offers his readers a wide range of reasons to get to know this part of the Land of the Basques.
By the way, readers should not miss the description Richard Eilers gives of his discovery of the “Portal of Justice” in the Cathedral of Tudela, or his experiences and findings in the Bardenas Realeas.
Roisin Agnew, in her article for Lonely Planet, even though it perhaps seems like it should be the other way around, gives much more focused information on the use of these areas as backdrops for the international hit series than of the highlights of the area, like The Guardian does.
Landscapes, culture, history, and gastronomy: there are a lot of reasons to visit the south of Navarre. These reasons could even be used as an excuse for the real reason: to see, with one’s own eyes, the places where the extraordinary stories of “Game of Thrones” were filmed.
