Astronomy Tour of Cabezabellosa

As the sun sets, we will gather at the designated meeting point, conveniently situated just a few meters from the natural observatory within the Vetón forest of Cabezabellosa.

Surrounded by these ancient oak trees, where the Vetons established their settlement prior to Roman influence, we will find ourselves at an elevation of 900 meters (2952 feet), witnessing a night sky filled with a stunning array of stars. The altitude and absence of light pollution provide a unique opportunity for clear visibility of celestial bodies. We will identify significant stars and explore the names and stories behind the constellations. Engage with the universe and discover new celestial phenomena while hearing ancient cosmic myths — a truly enchanting experience!

Furthermore, we will examine the stars from a scientific viewpoint, uncovering the physical processes that govern the formation of stars and celestial objects over the course of millions of years.

After two hours spent gazing at the stars, we will wrap up our journey by making our way back to the starting location.
