Where to stargaze in Catalonia: why the Montsec
If you're looking for where to stargaze in Catalonia, the Montsec is usually the answer any astronomy enthusiast will give you — and it's right next to Cal Nenot.
A Starlight Tourist Destination
The Montsec holds the Starlight certification, which recognises its very low light pollution — among the lowest in continental Europe.
The Parc Astronòmic and the COU
The Centre d'Observació de l'Univers in Àger runs guided telescope sessions — full details in our Parc Astronòmic del Montsec guide.
Stargazing without leaving Cal Nenot
You don't need to travel far: on a clear, moonless night, the sky from Puigcercós is already noticeably dark.
When to go
Any clear night works, though August, with the Perseid meteor shower, is an especially popular month among stargazers.
