Moonlight in the Astronomical Center of Tiedra (CAT)

This is an easy, circular route for initiated cyclists, in which we go to visit a very interesting astronomical observatory in the Castilian plateau, up in the Torozos mountains.

We move to Tordesillas in transportation and following tracks we arrive to Tiedra and visit the Astronomical Center of Tiedra. After the previous explanations, the observation of the sky by the telescope and a session at the Planetarium, we left at nightlight and cycle back to the village, where we stay. On the following day we return by the same route to Tordesillas, from where we go back home. Another ride to the stars.

This route runs through Torozos mountains, site classified as SCI (Site of Community Importance) in the Natura 2000 network.
