About

AstroGC offers a unique astronomy workshop in the scenic mountains of Gran Canaria. Guided by seasoned astronomers, you’ll observe planets, nebulae, and distant galaxies using state‑of‑the‑art 16‑inch telescopes. The excursion departs from your hotel in the south of the island, taking you to some of the darkest stargazing spots where light pollution is minimal. With a professional team, high‑quality instrumentation, and free minibus transport, the experience is designed for beginners and seasoned astronomers alike. Whether you’re looking for a romantic night under the stars or an educational adventure with children, AstroGC promises a memorable celestial journey. The workshop lasts approximately five hours, beginning about 90 minutes before sunset and concluding after the sky turns dark. Participants are grouped in twos per telescope, ensuring ample observing time for each guest. Adults can attend for €50, with each additional adult costing €45, and children aged 0–12 receive a €5 discount. Booking is free but recommended; simply fill the online form and you’ll be contacted to confirm the best date based on weather conditions.
