Tasarte beach, in La Aldea de San Nicolás, will host the first edition of 'Starry Night' on July 24th, a free event organized by the Tourism Department to promote astronomy and the natural environment.

The initiative, starting at 9:30 PM, combines astronomy outreach with sky observation and contact with nature. The Tourism Department of La Aldea de San Nicolás City Council is promoting this event to showcase the municipality's rich night sky, aimed at both locals and visitors seeking a unique seaside experience.
The AstroEduca team will lead the evening, providing explanations about stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. They will also guide participants during observation and answer astronomy-related questions. Tasarte was chosen for its natural conditions: an enclave far from light pollution with a wide horizon, ideal for stargazing.
Attendance at 'Starry Night' is free but requires prior registration through the Turiscan Cultura website due to limited capacity. The organization advises bringing comfortable clothing and something warm, and respecting the environment.
Through this activity, the La Aldea City Council aims to enhance its nature- and territory-knowledge-related leisure offerings, highlighting the night sky as a tourist and educational resource to attract environmentally conscious visitors.
