Weekend of Astronomy and Geology


The visit of the Natural Monument called Nigüelas Fault is not the only thing that you can do in The Lecrín Valley, also you can see a different geological elements like Alluvial Fans, Marine Fossils, sedimentary strata and coral reefs.

For people interested in geology (although you do not need any previous knowledge), we will visit: The Natural Monument of The Fault of Nigüelas-Dúrcal, The encasement of the Dúrcal and Tablate rivers in sedimentary materials, with different bridges to cross them. Also, we will visit several places with lots of marine fossils like clams, oysters and corals.

 

The visits will be guided by a geologist.

 

At night, you can feel the emotion of looking at the sky with a Telescope Smith-Cassegrain 10’’, in the Observatory El Valle. The observation consists of a tour by the best interstellar objects in the night: Nebulas, galaxies, globular clusters, nebulae planetary (remnants of dead stars), planets, double stars, etc.

 

All this accompanied by a lover of astronomy.
