Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
@asongofstarkandtargaryen There's a bit of contrast that these two landscapes are located in Navarra, morever because it's one of the smallest communities.
The first one is from the valley of Irati, next to the Pyrenees and Roncesvalles, in the northern part of Navarra. These type of landscape is common in those areas, like the valley of Batzan, both areas that are the setting of the film of Irati and the book and film The Batzan Triology.
And the second one belongs to the Bardenas Reales desert. It's located between the southeastern part of Navarra and the province of Zaragoza, Aragon. It's one of the northern deserts alongside with the Los Monegros desert in the province of Huesca. The southern deserts are located in Andalusia: the Gorafe desert in the province of Granada and the Tabernas desert in the province of Almería.
Although Almería is the only region with a subdesertic or semiarid climate, hence that's why it's considered mainly as a true desert.
Then there's the Canary islands that apart from having subtropical climate, they are subdesertic despending on the islands and the area of the island (like for example can be seen in landscapes of Fuerteventura, Lanzarote or Gran Canaria).
As a curious fact, some parts of the Bardenas desert was used as a filming location for the Dothraki Sea in season 6 of GOT, like the scene of Dany's speech to her khalasar with Drogon (X), and Vaes Dothrak in the mountain range of Alhamilla, on Almería, near the Tabernas desert (×). Although the location doesn't fit the previously seen on season 1, and maybe it's a bit too mountainous, since Vaes Dothrak and the Dothraki Sea was mainly flat and full of grass.
