This itinerary in bike allows to discover the South of those Bardenas and mainly the Black Bardena. It is developed in a very pastoral area and it requires on the part of the cyclists a certain correction. It is necessary to be always attentive and to avoid to all coast the to bother and to scatter the flocks.

If one makes the journey entirely it can seem enough long (43 km). One can also give a shorter turn (22 km): when you it arrives to the pastoral complex "of the Slip", it is not necessary to continue until Sancho it Embraces, but returning for the road that the "Umbria of the Quarter note" dominates.

However, Sancho Embraces it is a pleasant goal for a itinerary in bike. It is a stupendous mirador on the South end of those Bardenas and the valley of the Ebro (bar-restaurant in the summit).
