This chapter has as its central axis Tudela with its spectacular cathedral and its lively historic center. The routes that take us to the Bardena Blanca and the more unknown Bardena Negra, with its unique steppe landscape, start from it. Next to the Roscas area is the town of Corella, with its palaces and churches, and its tradition of bars and pinchos. And already in Aragonese territory, the city of Tarazona, twinned by ties of good neighborliness and by the Tarazonica Greenway.
TWO HIKING ROUTES
The first of the routes will take us up to the Cabezo del Fraile, where in other times there was a castle that dominated the border between the kingdoms of Navarra and Aragon. The climb is short but can be hard, due to the slopes and the heat of the desert. The reward is the wide panoramic view of the Bardena Negra. The other route is circular along the banks of the Alhama River to Las Rocas, sculptural rock formations that wind erosion has given shape.

Funes
Bathed by the waters of the Ebro, Aragón and Arga rivers, lies the picturesque town of Funes in the Autonomous Community of Navarre. The historical origins of Funes are linked to the period of Roman domination. It is believed that its name comes from the Latin term finis, which means limit, due to its important border location very close to the territory occupied by the Muslims. At least twenty archaeological sites have been identified in the area, although not all have been studied and cannot be visited. The history of Funes is also marked by the tragedy of the Roman Empire.
CUTS
