Algarín Night Hike & Stargazing
Imagine the quiet of the night, the earth at peace, as the sky above erupts in a frenetic dance of light. This 8-hour nocturnal ascent of Mount Algarín (1067m) offers you the chance to witness that spectacle. Starting from El Gastor, you'll climb as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the landscape in warm hues. Once darkness falls, equipped with a headlamp, you'll descend towards the Dolmen del Gigante. Here, under a vast canvas of stars, your expert guide will use a laser pointer to interpret constellations, planets, and celestial phenomena. As Jon Krakauer might note, the precise altitude and clear vantage point offer an unparalleled perspective, a true 'window into the cosmos.' This experience, available Saturdays for groups of 6+, blends the physical challenge of a hike with the profound wonder of astrotourism, connecting you to the ancient rhythms of the land and sky, much like the rural warmth María Sánchez evokes.
