Back in August Protected content , we went to the Alqueva Lake Observatory to admire the dark sky and witness the Perseids Meteor Shower.

This time, while pursuing the celestial shower, we will discover and enjoy other secrets of the Alentejo.

During our 4-day stay in Évora, we will visit one of Portugal’s most astonishing wine estates. No spoilers were given.

On one night we will participate in a private stargazing event at The Dark Sky® Alqueva, the first site in the world to be certified as a “Starlight Tourism Destination”, a certification awarded by the Starlight Foundation, and supported by UNESCO, UNWTO, and IAC.

Starlight destinations have very low light pollution and visitors can enjoy unique and unparalleled opportunities to view the night sky.

In much of Europe, fewer and fewer people can view the galaxy clearly because of increasing light pollution, but in Alqueva the excellent atmospheric conditions and clarity make it possible for visitors to enjoy stargazing for most of the year

Let’s come together for another amazing adventure!
