AirVuz creator, drone pilot, and 2023 DVOY nominee Ananda Joinet brings us this fantastic aerial video of the other-worldly Bardenas Reales, a semi-arid region in the northern part of Spain.  The Bardenas Reales is situated in the semi-autonomous region Navarre, which is largely Basque-speaking but is not part of the official Basque Country region.  The highly distinctive rock structures which characterize the Bardenas Reales are a function of the area's unusual soil composition as well as wind and water erosion patterns.

Alvaro55 used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to create this marvelous aerial tour of the rural landscapes in Spain's Basque Country.  Basque Country is a historical region which covers the areas around the "corner" of the Bay of Biscay, on both the French and Spanish sides of the border.  Geographically isolated, the territory was late to be conquered by Rome and then never fully subjugated compared to the rest of France and Spain.  These and related factors combined to produce a highly distinctive, seafaring culture.

brings us this excellent drone view of the Badenas Reales region in Navarre, a lagely Basque-speaking region of northern Spain.  The Bardenas Reales is known for its highly distinctive rock structures, which were created by the area's unusual soil composition as well as wind and water erosion patterns.  It's part of the valley of the Ebro River.  The video features a mix of gimbal-stabilized drone as well as first person view (FPV) drone footage.  

Gorobel Mountain

Gorobel

Gorobel is the Basque word for 'Sierra de Sálvada', a mountain that marks the natural limit between the Basque Country in northwestern Spain and the neighboring region of Castille. Its steep slopes in the north frequently produce the Föhn effect, by which the humid air that rises from the valley condenses, forming clouds and rains.  Contributor Toniobodon used a drone to create a stunning aerial view of this magnificent mountain, which has an altitude of just under 1.2k meters (about 3.8k ft).  

Anboto Mountain

Contributor Toniobodon created this stunning drone video of a hike to the top of Anboto, the highest peak of the Urkiola Mountains in the Basque Country of northwestern Spain.  The mountain stands just over 1.3k meters (about 4.4k ft) above sea level, and the Urkiola Mountains form the drainage divide between the Mediterranean and Atlantic Basins of Europe.  In recognition of its natural beauty as well as its importance to Basque culture, the mountain and its surroundings are now part of a national park.  

Basque Country's Metalworking Heritage

Spain's Basque Country region was once one of the most important iron mining areas in the world, and its iron ore resources served as the base to create what was once one of the world's most advanced metalworking industries.  In this drone video by contributor and pilot dronostia, you'll get a bird's eye view of an important reminder of this rich industrial history.  It's the remains of an iron ore loading platform near Zarautz in Gipuzkoa, the northeasternmost of the three Basque Country provinces.

For a second upload to AirVuz, new contributor Mark.b_b brings us this stunning drone video from northern Spain.  The video was created in the course of a five day hiking trip through Navarre, the largely Basque-speaking autonomous community which lies between the Basque Country to the west and the region of Aragon to the east.  As you'll see in the video, the landscape of the region varies considerably, with the northern part covered by the Pyrenees Mountains, while the southern part is part of the plain of the Ebro River.

Spain's Basque Country is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.  Unusually, there is really no real coastal plain here - the mountains essentially drop right down to the sea.  The ample rainfall turns the mountains a deep shade of green, and the red roofs of many of structures in the area present an amazingly colorful display.  In this drone video by EBMDrone, you'll get an aerial tour of the area around Ibarranguelua, a town which lies a short distance northeast of the city of Bilbao.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is a tiny tidal island which lies just meters/feet off the coast of Spain's Basque Country, on the Bay of Biscay.  This fairly obscure spot was seen by millions for the first time when it appeared as a filming location for Season 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones, which first aired in the summer of 2017.  Since then, it's become known as "Dragonstone" the CGI-generated castle which sits atop the island on the fictitious "Blackwater Bay" and was the name of the Season 7 premiere episode.

The coastline of the Basque Country Region of Spain is home to one of the world's most distinctive-looking rock formations.  It's called the Flysch, and it runs for about 5 mi. (about 8 km) along the Bay of Biscay coast near the town of Zumaia.  Considered the longest continuous rock formation in the world, it's also a great spot for some first person view (FPV) coastal cruising, as you'll see in this beautiful video by AirVuz contibutor and FPV pilot Dani Doncel.  This video made the FPV Pilots to Watch list in July, 2022.

Alvaro55 created this nice aerial view of a forest in the western Pyrenees Mountains in northern Spain.  It's called the Irati Forest, and it's one of Europe's largest beach-fir forests.  It's primarily located in the Spanish semi-autonomous region of Navarre, with a portion in the adjacent part of France.   The forest occupies some of the most remote territory in Spain.  While Navarre is considered one of the Basque provinces along with the three provinces in the Basque Community region to its west. 

Zumaia''s Flysch Rock Formations

Occi Vids...

The area around the town of Zumaia in Spain's Basque Country region was fairly well known long before the Game of Thrones filming crews descended on this area along the Bay of Biscay.  What it was known for in the first instance is its highly unusual rock formations along its coastline known as the Flysch.  These rocks were formed by patterns of sedimentation and erosion which are nearly unique in the world.  Seen in this drone video by Occi Vids, the Flysch are part of the Basque Coast UNESCO Geopark.
