Cabezabellosa Astronomy Tour

Shortly after sunset, we'll meet at the indicated point, near the natural observatory of the Vetón forest of Cabezabellosa. This location, at an altitude of 900 metres (2952 feet), offers clear views of the night sky due to minimal light pollution.

We will identify significant stars and learn the names and meanings of the constellations. Participants will discover new celestial bodies while listening to myths related to cosmology, creating a unique experience.

Additionally, we will observe stars from a scientific perspective, discussing the physical processes involved in the formation of stars and other space objects over millions of years.

After two hours of stargazing, we will conclude the activity with a return to the starting point.
