Who is behind Sky Andaluz?
My passion for astronomy started when I was around 7 years old and I received my first book on the subject, and I was hooked. Now I have set up a planetarium in the Sierra de Granada to teach and share my passion for astronomy.
Andalusia being a reference in astronomical tourism for Europe because of its weather conditions, it is still not exploited as it deserves. With this astronomical observation center we want to reverse this situation and position Andalusia as it deserves by offering first-rate facilities.
What catches my attention in the sky are not so much the objects as the galaxies, nebulae and clusters. What attracts me are the clusters: the constellations, the history behind them and how they served mankind since the beginning of time for location and the notion of time.
When Stéphane proposed Sky Andaluz to me, I didn't think twice. It was time to look through the telescope and not through the microscope as I did for so many years!
