Up to 110 shooting stars per hour are expected in the night from August 12 to August 13 during the annual Perseid meteor shower.
The Roque de los Muchachos observatory on the Canary island of La Palma is inviting visitors to stargaze for the occasion.
The meteor shower can be seen particularly well from the highest point on the island, according to La Palma’s tourism agency.
Astrotourism is possible not only on La Palma, but also for instance on the Canary island of Tenerife, which is home to a large observatory on the Mount Teide volcano. – dpa
