Description:

From the Carmelite Convent of the Desert de les Palmes, we’ll ascent while enjoying breathtaking views. As night falls, we’ll stop for dinner at the cross of Alto del Bartolo. There, at one of the highest points of this stunning coastal mountain route, we’ll meet an astronomer who, equipped with a laser and telescope, will introduce both kids and adults to the secrets of the cosmos. We'll descend under the starlight using flashlights and headlamps, taking in the best views of La Plana and ending a truly unforgettable experience.

Recommendations:

Sport shoes and clothing, long sleeves, plenty of water, dinner, and a flashlight.
