Hey there, stargazers! Welcome to Astronomy Tours, the most exciting way to explore the wonders of the universe. We are a proud division of the
Kevin Moore19/05/2024 What a great evening everybody had! This was an 'Adults Only' evening, and was attended by 17, arriving mostly in couples. The parking area was large, and just across the road from the venue. We were all warmly greeted and offered fruit juice or water to start with. People quickly joined others and there were plenty of friendly conversations. Once everyone had arrived and settled, there was an introduction with a decent Cava. This was not a bunch of enthusiasts sharing their hobby with us, these were professional astronomers sharing their knowledge. They were all warm, friendly and approachable. Dinner was served whilst waiting for the sub to set (a delicious curry, tender meat, salad, jacket potatoes and bread). Good quality red and white wine, beer and water were available for free. There was also a pay bar. There was an informative talk explaining about telescopes and astronomy, followed by viewings of various stars, the moon and a galaxy. There was a break, followed by a presentation about the future of astronomy. There are Glamping Pods and Tents for those who wish to stay the night. Our evening started at 19:30 and ended at 00:30. The site is not up a mountain, as most expected, but at an easy to get to location, next to a fairly quiet road, and on the flat. We cannot recommend Finca Astronómica enough. Do try one of their 'tours', you will not regret it! Keri Dryburgh13/05/2024 7 year old review- Very very cool. Loved all the animals and all the constellations. Playing with the nerf guns and Max was really fun as well. Brilliant to see the moon up close through the telescope. Very nice pancakes for breakfast. Delicious food, warm welcome, fascinating astronomical information from very knowledgeable, multi lingual hosts. Beautiful venue with relaxed bohemian vibe. Shower room in development for future which will be an advantage. Very clean and comfortable. laura shh13/05/2024 A beautiful evening with warm, welcoming hosts who clearly know a thing or two about astronomy! We enjoyed trying our hands at archery and darts; making some four-legged friends; eating delicious home-cooked food; toasting marshmallows around the fire; and learning all about the moon and stars. A highlight of our many trips to Spain. Kathryn Rhodes11/04/2024 Had a fantastic night last night The food was good but the sky at night was fabulous the talk was so informative and what a kit The family who run this night were so friendly We will definitely return Not stopped talking about it today thank you Kath Kev & Milo Natalia Mueller24/03/2024 Super miejsce to już drugi raz. Napewno nie ostatni 😊 spiewanie przy ognisku do późna w nocy ! Pyszne jedzenie . Jinny Davis16/03/2024 What a superb evening!! I cannot recommend it enough. We all had such an amazing and inspiring evening, thank you so much Charles & alex for brining the Comos to us 💖💖 Julie Jones16/03/2024 Spent a wonderful night at this amazing experience. I cannot decide what was the best bit - the food, the location or the hospitality from Charles and Alex. This is without doubt one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The enthusiasm these guys have is amazing. There is nothing they will not do or tell you to help enhance your evening. I went as I knew my husband would love it - but came away with a new found love for astronomy. Would I go back- hell yes- roll on November to see Saturn and spend another night learning and relaxing. Would Give more than 5 stars Yvonne Roberts16/03/2024 Wow wow wow! We booked a private tour last night for 5 of us, just because, they were not doing a standard tour till after my friends were leaving ! Now, it is the way to go! Charles, Alex and Max are the most hospitable family ever! Charles not only is an absolute wealth of knowledge about the universe, he is also the best chef! The food is always Amazing! Together they are a complete team and you feel so comfortable in their company . But what blows your mind is the things they show you through their telescopes and their explanations of what you are looking at! Last night was an extra treat not just because we had almost one to one with them, but it was the first time they had used their new telescope! Extra wow! That, and the special glasses that allowed us to look at the sun.. well.. we had the best time ever! Needless to say, we will be back again very soon … my friend is already talking about what questions he wants Charles and Alex to answer! Be warned guys, Trevor wants facts and figures about Saturn! Thank you so much! You are incredible 😁❤️ Jane Waughman03/03/2024 Fabulous evening at Finca Astronomica. A night of learning about and observing the night sky once the clouds cleared. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic hosts - great presentation, good food, roaring fire, and gorgeous pets! Amazing value too.
