This viewpoint located at the entrance of the Sierra de Castril Natural Park, is equipped with information panels that will allow us to understand, for example, the changes that occur in the appearance of the night sky during the course of the year. Its location, orientation and conditioning make it a point of attraction both for astronomy fans and for those who want to enjoy the landscape both at night and during the day.
Castril and other areas of the Granada Altiplano are among the most suitable places in Europe for astronomical observation. The low light pollution in the area, added to its orography, make its night skies particularly dark, allowing you to enjoy spectacular views of the Milky Way, for example.
