When the Mediterranean sun finally dips below the hills and the heat of the day softens into a balmy evening, the real show begins high above your head. Summer in Spain isn’t just for the beach—it’s the season when the night sky comes alive with spectacular sights that leave even seasoned stargazers speechless.
At Finca Astronomica, our guided astronomy evenings start around 8:00 PM, giving you the perfect opportunity to cool off after a long day by the sea and immerse yourself in the wonders of the universe. Whether you’re an avid amateur astronomer or simply looking for a unique way to spend a summer night, here’s why the summer sky is the best natural spectacle you’ll see all year.
The Milky Way: A River of Stars
Summer is Milky Way season in the Northern Hemisphere. From June through August, this luminous band stretches boldly overhead, arching from horizon to horizon in a dazzling display of starlight. At our off-grid finca, with minimal light pollution, you can see countless stars that most people never glimpse in their lifetime.
On clear nights, you’ll spot the dense star clouds near the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, the very heart of our galaxy. If you’ve never seen the Milky Way in all its detail, this is your chance to witness one of nature’s most humbling sights.
The Biggest Meteor Shower of the Year
Every August, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks, delivering hundreds of shooting stars across the night sky. The Perseids are famous not only for their sheer number but also for their bright, long-lasting trails.
At Finca Astronomica, we time our meteor shower tours to coincide with the peak nights—so bring a blanket, lie back, and make a wish on the celestial fireworks.
Galaxies, Nebulae, and Deep Sky Wonders
Summer skies are rich with deep sky treasures. With our professional telescopes and live screen displays, you can observe:
observar:
-The Andromeda Galaxy, our galactic neighbor 2.5 million light-years away.
-The Ring Nebula, a ghostly bubble of gas left behind by a dying star.
-The Hercules Cluster, a swarm of hundreds of thousands of ancient stars
These incredible objects are impossible to see with the naked eye but come to life under expert guidance and high-quality optics.
A Perfect Evening After the Beach
Summer days in Murcia are for sunbathing and swimming. But when the heat finally releases its grip, there’s no better way to unwind than under a sky full of stars. Our astronomy experiences are designed to be relaxing, engaging, and family-friendly, blending science and wonder in an unforgettable night out.
Tours begin at 8:00 PM with a welcoming talk and refreshments, delicious dinner and a bonfire. As twilight fades, you’ll explore the constellations with laser-guided tours and observe celestial marvels through our telescopes.
Make It an Unforgettable Night
Why rush home when you can stay under the stars all night? Guests are welcome to spend the night in our comfortable yurts equipped with fans, perfect for warm summer evenings.
After stargazing, gather around the bonfire to share stories, toast marshmallows, and enjoy magical atmosphere of our off grid Finca. It’s the ideal way to end a magical evening.
And if you stay over, you’re invited to join us for a refreshing mountain hike in the morning, soaking in panoramic views as the sun rises over the hills.
