Deep in the desert of Fuerteventura there is a star reserve with such scarce light pollution that it attracts astronomers from all over the world. The mountainous drive on FV-605 into Pájara twists and turns to almost 1,000 feet above sea level, whether you are visiting day or night, the Astronomical Viewpoint Sicasumbre is sure to take your breath away.
When you arrive, parking is on the opposite side of the street from the trail. It is no more than a quarter of a mile up the hill, and half way there is a shaded bench.
At the top is a panoramic point with exceptional views over the volcanic landscape, from the Jandia Peninsula to the protected area of Montana Cardon.
In the outdoor astronomical observatory you will find tools such as a vertical clock and sundial.
There is much information to read about the surrounding mountains during the day, and constellations at night. 
Virgo, Bootes and Corvus can be seen here, in what is some of the best stargazing on the continent of Europe.
Good to know:
+Bring a jacket, it can be very windy in this area
+At times the observatory can be crowded because buses stop here
+There are additional walking trails to extend your time in the area
