The curious Bardena Real de Terrassa

In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can discover a unique landscape that we can admire in Terrassa, in the Vallès Occidental. As we see in these two comparative snapshots, it resembles that of the Bardenas Reales of Navarra.

We can see these formations in the Can Boada neighborhood, where land extraction was carried out in the past and these two towers remained that marked the extraction level, delimiting the level.

These earth towers are reminiscent of the semi-desert area of ​​41,845 hectares that extends through the southeast of Navarra, the Bardenas Reales, although the landscape also extends through the territory of the Aragonese towns of Sádaba, Tauste and Ejea de los Caballeros.

Can Boada is a neighborhood in the northwestern sector of Terrassa, in district 5, located above the Barcelona-Manresa railway line of the Renfe and half divided by the transfer of the Palau river.

Its name derives from the Can Boada del Pi farmhouse, in whose fields the neighborhood was built and where we can see these curious earth and stone formations.
