The unique stargazing conditions of Gran Canaria give us the possibility to enjoy a wide range of special astronomical events around the year.
In 2018 Gran Canaria was declared Unesco Starlight Destination. Due to the island´s optimum conditions it is one of the world´s best places to enjoy stargazing. The clear and clean sky provides the perfect conditions to enjoy the endless night sky from the highest peaks of the island.
Because of its orographic formation, the mountain area of the island, offers unique conditions for stargazing on Gran Canaria. The main reason for that are the unique weather conditions with little wind and the clean air, in combination with the so called “Panza de Burro” (Donkeys Belly) phenomenon. Due to this phenomenon the clouds reach no higher altitude than around 500 meters, which creates a protective shield from the citylights to allow perfect low light conditions in the mountains.
The unique stargazing conditions of Gran Canaria give us the possibility to enjoy a wide range of special astronomical events around the year.
The most popular are the falling stars, the so called “Lluvias de estrellas”. During theses special nights, which usually happen between 5 to 10 times a year, you will be able to count an endless number of falling stars.
