Stars Tourism

The Calar Alto observatory houses the largest telescope in continental Europe. The site was chosen for its altitude, clear skies and clean air, which is also good for taking in the immense daytime panorama, which is particularly beautiful to the south, where the view stretches from the Sierra Nevada to the Mediterranean, via the Tabernas moon field. There are few viewpoints in the world that dominate like this one; sea, desert and high mountains. And on top of that, the stars.

During the course of our astronomical observation activities, you will be able to contemplate objects such as: the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility, the remains of the death of a star (planetary nebula) or planets of the Solar System such as Jupiter together with its four major moons, the rings of Saturn, and an endless number of different astronomical objects.
