SUMMARY

The Parc Astronòmic del Montsec is the basic pillar of research, training and dissemination of astronomy in Catalonia. The Astronòmic organizes the 10th Montsec Astronomy Festival with the aim of bringing science closer to young and old as a new form of tourism: Tourism of the Stars.

We invite you to enjoy this experience, where science and tourism are combined, with activities aimed at all ages: workshops, experiments, guided tours, concerts, among others, under the spectacular sky of Montsec.

See you there!
