Starlight Fundación
The Starlight Foundation is an entity that promotes the protection of the night sky and the right to a dark and starry sky. This organization works on the certification of destinations and accommodations that meet quality standards for astronomical observation, promoting sustainable tourism and respect for the environment.
The Importance of Preserving the Darkness and Quality of the Night Skies
Preserving the darkness of the night sky is not only crucial for astronomical observation, but also has ecological and health benefits. Light pollution affects nocturnal fauna, alters ecosystems and can interfere with the circadian rhythms of human beings. Maintaining a dark sky free of light pollution helps preserve these values and allows us all to enjoy the beauty of the universe.
Castillo de Locubín and the Starlight Reserve of the Sierra Sur
Our beloved municipality, Castillo de Locubín, is part of the Starlight Reserve of the Sierra Sur. Located on the edge of this reserve, Castillo de Locubín benefits from an exceptional quality of night sky, perfect for stargazing. This privileged location allows us to offer unparalleled astrotourism experiences, where visitors can marvel at the immensity of the cosmos.
