Astronomical tourism in Andalusia

Andalusia, an astronomical destination

Andalusian skies are a true gem for astronomy enthusiasts and astronomical tourism. Since 2014, Andalusia belongs to the Starlight Foundation, a legal entity belonging to the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and in partnership with the UNESCO, whose primary purpose is the promotion of the star watching and the night sky (not to be confused with the Starlite concerts and Gala that take place in Marbella every summer!).

Andalusia is the most Starlight-certified region in the world (67), where star watching is a true wonder

Andalusia prides itself on being the most Starlight-certified region in the world, with over 67 towns, along with some mountain ranges -including Sierra Nevada, being part of a select group of destinations all over the world where star watching is a true wonder. Although astronomy is an ancient science, that started with the early civilizations, astronomical tourism has not fully developed until only a few decades ago, with the arrival of amateur astronomy. Nowadays, you do not need to be an expert to admire and discover the sky -there are many useful tools to guide you through this journey.

Telescopes are the simplest but most effective way to find stars, although apps are quickly growing in popularity, too. These apps allow users to locate any star, constellation or object in the sky, however, some people use them as a way to align and point the telescopes in the right direction, detrimental to the use of star charts.

Astronomical activities for special interest groups in the South of Spain

However, nothing beats an expert eye. In Andalusia, it is possible to organise countless astronomical activities for different kind of groups, regardless of the level of expertise or interest of the group -it could range from a night activity as part of an incentive or corporate group, to a full itinerary through Andalusia for those interested in astronomic tourism or any other special interest group. Simply let us know what you'd like and we will be happy to organise the perfect star-watching event for you.

Amazing service from Carolina at Meridional Events. From the first time we contacted Carolina to the completion of our event, the communication and arrangements were first class.

We are certainly hoping to be able to work with her again in the future. Thanks to the team from all at Chase Buchanan.

They are an agency specialized in creating experiences adapted to groups.

They knew how to balance and keep everyone happy by offering us a wide variety of activities. Here lies the difference from the rest of the agencies.

Truly a very complete and exclusive agency.
