Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is one of the best-preserved protected natural areas in southern Europe. In addition to its natural and cultural attractions, it now offers exceptional conditions for the practice of astronomy. Here there are still small villages scattered and hidden among the mountains, as is the case of the 10 municipalities within the Park, where we can enjoy the experience of a black sky, where the stars are infinite. These regions deserve to be preserved and can obtain international recognition as a Starlight Tourist Destination and Starlight Reserve (UNESCO), as the inhabitants of these regions decide to take action to preserve the darkness of the firmament and not add more light pollution.
