January 3 The Star of Bethlehem astronomy event in the countryside of Caravaca

Tras la Estrella de Belén in the Caravaca village of La Encarnación

The Town Hall of Caravaca de la Cruz and Astroversia offer you this chance to put yourself in the shoes (or sandals??) of the Three Kings as they scanned the night sky and followed the star to Bethlehem, with this event on Saturday 3^rd January at the historic site of the old Roman ruins and small church in the village of La Encarnación.

The activity is called “Tras la Estrella de Belén” and consists of a voyage of discovery, as experts explain the astronomical phenomena of the sky at this time of year and the winter constellations. The evening ends with a photograph under the stars, a great family memento of this unusual experience!

It goes without saying the warm clothing is a must for this event, and booking is available online here at a price of 18 euros (12 euros for children under the age of 13).

The event may be cancelled if there are not enough participants or in the case of adverse weather conditions, in which case full refunds will be provided.
