Roque de Los Muchachos (La Palma)

In the summer of 2010, while traveling in La Palma, I recommend going to a landmark of the island, the Roque de los Muchachos. A place where the earth and the universe are available to your eyes.

I remember that all citizens residing on the island that was appointed me a wonderful place, whose location in the middle of the Atlantic, and the peculiar climate trigger the formation of clouds between 1000 and 2000 m in height, which act as a mirror and prevent the light pollution of coastal populations hamper the observation of stars.

By midafternoon, about 17:00, we went by car to the top of the island. The scenery was spectacular green washed by the sea of clouds that gradually toward the island owner.

When we arrived at Roque de los Muchachos, the image is automatically recorded in your heart. You look around and see a sunset wrapped in a sea of clouds and monitored at all times by the spectacular image of the universe. Being in La Palma and do not contemplate the image of the starry sky is an option that can not afford.
