About this experience
What makes Astronomy Night at Finca Astronómica truly special is its rare combination of world-class stargazing, authentic southern Spanish atmosphere, and genuine human connection.
Under one of Europe’s clearest skies, guests explore planets, distant galaxies, and glowing nebulae through professional telescopes guided by passionate astronomers with years of experience in science outreach and astrophotography.
The evening blends precision with wonder, turning astronomy into a shared adventure. A homemade dinner served outdoors, surrounded by nature and the scent of the countryside, leads into a bonfire under the stars, where marshmallows, laughter, and stories make the universe feel close and familiar.
Designed for all ages, this off-grid experience combines science, warmth, and Mediterranean night magic — a perfect mix of learning, relaxation, and inspiration.
