Windows on the stars

Did you know that in inland Spain you'll find some of the best places in the world for stargazing? Come and see this unique sky in the designated areas, star parks and Starlight reserves. You'll see that all of them (named or recommended in the Starlight Initiative supported by the UNESCO) have something in common: natural lighting and a clear night sky which will leave you speechless.

The Biosphere reserve of the valleys of the Leza, Jubera, Cidacos and Alhama rivers (in La Rioja ), the Mena valley (in Burgos , Castile-León ), the Monfragüe National Park (in Extremadura ), the north face of the Sierra de Gredos mountains (in Avila , Castile-León) are just a few. Bathe in the light of the stars as never before.
