Dark Sky<br />
Portugal | Learning Experience<br />
A<br />
perfect beautiful starry night is a rare thing so much so in fact that there<br />
are only a handful of certified destinations in <strong>Europe</strong> that can offer the,<br />
the first to be certified and probably the most exquisite is Dark Sky Alqueva.<br />
Located in the Alentejo region of Portugal Alqueva is a wonderful and<br />
accessible place to see the stars, constellations, the Milky Way, and<br />
distant galaxies. Conditions in Alqueva are ideal, light pollution is at a<br />
minimum and the climate is warm.<br />
So, should you decide that your next trip to Portugal will<br />
include a spot of night viewing then who better to guide you<br />
than the president of the Dark Sky Association, Apolónia<br />
Rodrigues. Apolónia is an experienced and awardwinning<br />
professional with an excellent background in<br />
sustainable tourism.<br />
