Starry sky

The island of La Palma is one of the best places in the world to watch the stars, among other places, because of the quality of its air and its separation from the continent. It is a paradise for both professional astrophysicists and amateurs.
One of its special features is the clear sky firmament, which makes it one of the most suitable places for astrophysical observations, i.e. for stargazers, due to its isolated island position and the quality of the air. It is also protected by the law of light pollution. Among other things, the island is home to the largest optical telescope in the world, the Grantecan, and there are projects to install one of the largest. A visit and a guided tour through the telescopes is something that we recommend to every vacationer. Scientists from all over the world meet at the observatory to observe the stars, measure gamma rays or test theories of quantum physics.

This has led many holiday home owners to install telescopes in their holiday homes La Palma for their guests to set up. Therefore we have created a separate category for you.

Here you can enjoy the GRANTECAN live connection 

You can also participate in organized Tours for astrophysical observation.
