Astro Events, Experiences & Courses<\/h2>\n

We organize special astronomical events<\/strong> throughout the year, often linked to astronomical phenomena<\/strong> or unique Starlight experiences<\/strong> in La Palma<\/strong>. These astro events<\/strong> may include conferences, astrophotography workshops, astronomy courses, eclipse observations, meteor showers, or even exclusive private (VIP) activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Event conditions such as transportation, schedule, or meeting point may vary depending on the specific activity and will be detailed for each one. You can find our most relevant upcoming events<\/strong> below.

\"Eclipse
Eclipse solar total en Espa\u00f1a 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Solar eclipse + Perseids 2026.<\/h2>\n

On 12 August 2026<\/strong>, the sky over La Palma<\/strong> will offer a rare combination of astronomical events. In the late afternoon we will experience a partial solar eclipse<\/strong>, with around 75% of the Sun covered by the Moon as seen from the island<\/strong>. As daylight fades and the volcanic landscapes turn golden at sunset, the atmosphere of the eclipse will make this moment even more special.<\/p>\n

After dark, the experience continues under one of the best stargazing skies in the world<\/strong>. August marks the peak of the Perseids meteor shower<\/strong>, famous for its bright shooting stars. Far from city lights, we will walk to a darker observation spot and spend the night watching meteors cross the sky above La Palma.<\/p>\n
