On Sunday, July 2, the GIRONANOTÍCIES website dedicated a lengthy article to the inauguration of the Albanyà Astronomical Observatory, which had taken place the previous day. This is a centre “for the observation of the cosmos by people of all ages, which seeks to become a point of reference in scientific education in Catalonia.” It also highlighted that during the event, the town was recognised by the International Dark Association (IDA), which declared it the first International Dark Sky Park in Spain.
The report states that the Observatory “brings families, amateur photographers, schools and people interested in nature and technology in general closer to the exciting world of astronomy”, and that it organises multiple activities, such as astronomical baptisms.
