If you\u2019re seeking a mythical world of dragons, castles, giants, and wildlings, look beyond your imagination and make your way to Spain. There\u2019s something about Spain that conjures up fantasy and intrigue. That’s why the masterminds behind HBO’s Game of Thrones<\/a> chose Spain as a filming location when creating the show\u2019s mythical, magical world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain\u2019s dramatic and varied landscapes have an air of mystery, and its ancient castles invite an entire cast of royalty into the imagination. With a long list of stunning locations and plenty of things to do in Spain<\/a>, diehard fans of the show can binge on Game of Thrones inspired adventures at one of these real-life filming locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for dragons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll start in the north of Spain, where you can spark your imagination with visions of Khal Drogo. Make your way to Navarre to explore the Bardenas Reales<\/a>. This semi-desert region in Spain has an almost lunar landscape, and it was used to film parts of the Dothraki sea, home to the horseback Khalasar warriors in Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the Spanish badlands, this 100,000-acre Natural Park is made up primarily of clay, chalk, and sandstone. This is one of the few deserts in Europe, and it is definitely the most striking! You may not think of a desert as a place of fantasy, but this one is different. Thanks to centuries of erosion from both water and wind, the badlands boast surprising and impressive shapes, canyons, and plateaus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get out of your car and explore these unique geological formations on foot \u2014 there are plenty of hiking and biking trails throughout the park. While you won\u2019t find any dragons here, you may see a golden eagle (or a golden vulture, which just doesn\u2019t sound as impressive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bardenas Reales is also home to a bombing range used by the Spanish Air Force. Again, no dragons overhead, but you may see a fighter jet zoom on by. Just squint your eyes and pretend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
