Itinerary
We offer this night sky activity at our headquarters, in a private place that has services such as WC, tables, chairs, terrace. The tour is basically astronomical. Upon receiving clients we give them a brief explanation of Menorca and its commitment as a biosphere reserve to sustainability. We explain what it also means to be a "Starlight" territory, reserve and destination, which has the night sky protected. Next we teach the virtues of the natural landscape where they are found. The highlight of the activity is the observation of the night sky through laser pointers, astronomical binoculars and telescopes. All this recreated with the mythology enclosed in the constellations and the observation of various objects such as planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies.

About Menorca
Menorca is the quieter Balearic island, with coves of clear water, prehistoric stone monuments, two old harbour towns and a coastal path all round.
Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands, a low, green island and a UNESCO biosphere reserve, where stone walls divide the fields and white farmhouses stand in the countryside. The capital, Maó, overlooks one of the longest natural harbours in the Mediterranean, and its Georgian-style houses recall British rule in the eighteenth century. Ciutadella, the old capital on the west coast, has a Gothic cathedral, a small harbour and palaces around the Plaça des Born.
Top-ranked sights in Menorca: Cala Macarella, Cala Mitjana, Maó (Mahón).
