Caravaca Under the Stars

THROUGHOUT the month of August, Caravaca de la Cruz offers a unique blend of astro-tourism, gastronomy, and historical heritage with ‘Caravaca Under the Stars.’ The event coincides with the Perseids meteor shower, providing a special opportunity to observe the night sky at the archaeological sites of La Encarnación and Cerro de la Fuente de Archivel—two of the best locations in the Murcia region for star-gazing.

The ‘Caravaca Under the Stars’ program is part of the ‘Jubilee Experiences’, organised by the Caravaca Town Council’s Tourism Department. This year, the program includes five themed events, designed around the Perseids meteor shower.

The events are varied and engaging. ‘Tasting with Stars’ on August 8 and 17 features wine and cheese pairings from the Murcia region. ‘Myths and Perseids’ on August 15 explores summer constellations and their mythological connections. On August 12, ‘Sun and Perseids’ includes a solar observation before the main meteor shower event. For more information and registration, visit astroversia.com or experienciasjubilares.es.
