e-EyE, Extremadura
About 140km north-west of Seville in Extremadura near the Portuguese border is e-EyE, a comprehensive astro tourism complex ideal for amateur astronomers after clear-sky observations.
e-EyE stands for Entre Encinas y Estrellas, which translates as ‘between oaks and stars’. Certified a Starlight Reserve in 2016 and with a typical sky quality meter reading of 21.5 to 22, e-EyE has 250 clear nights a year, which visitors can enjoy by renting a section in a state-of-the-art observatory shed. Each section has an independent roof, fibre optic internet access and Wi-Fi, and there’s a team of technicians on hand. You can even leave your own telescope here and control it remotely from anywhere in the world. Events are held around meteor showers and the complex also organises star parties.
