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!

Michael F.25/12/2022Un immense MERCI à Flavia et à Stéphane pour leur extraordinaire accueil, des precisions et accompagnement avant visite aux boissons chaudes de fin de soirée qui font un bien fou. Votre générosité, votre passion pour les mondes des étoiles et toutes les anecdotes qui font clin d'œil nous ont fait passer en famille un moment magique sous la voûte céleste de ce site superbe entre Malaga et Grenade que je recommande à tous les curieux, ou trop proche des villes... vous pouvez y aller les yeux grands ouverts pour une formidable expérience. Le bonjour de la région lyonnaise et continuer de nous émerveiller à travers vos paroles et ces télescopes!! À bientôt, Michael.
David López Jiménez (Orion)23/12/2022Sitio estupendo para ver las estrellas y aprender, la pareja que lo lleva es fantástica y te explica todo estupendamente. Vimos Saturno y la nebulosa de Orión y más cosas y volveremos en verano para seguir viendo más cosas. Muy recomendable
Antonio Alvarez18/12/2022Sorprendente !!! Que Stephan y Flavia hayan traído a nuestra comarca una genial instalación para tener la oportunidad de observar y aprender aspectos del Universo. Son muy acogedores, y transmiten su conocimiento de una forma asequible para todo tipo de público. El telescopio es impresionante y se observan los detalles de los planetas, estrellas, galaxias, etc. Antonio Álvarez y Amparo Castro.
Josep Molina25/11/2022Wow, wow, wow... Esto no fue solo una visita a un Centro Astronómico, sino una experiencia personal, humana, llena de pasión, amor y entusiasmo. Stephan y Flavia, los fundadores y creadores del centro SON unas personas MARAVILLOSAS y entusiasmadas por el tema que saben muchísimo. Además, nosotros fuimos con nuestros hijos (y pensábamos que quizás se aburrirían) pero descubrimos que Flavia y Stephan tienen la capacidad de adaptarse super bien a quien le habla, ya sea explicar el Big Bang a mi hijo Pau (que después de la experiencia dijo que quería ser astrónomo, y Stephan casi lo adopta ;) o hablar de temas mucho más complejos si se lo preguntas. ¿Lo mejor para mi? La sensación de estar junto a familia, (ya que ellos son una encantadora pareja) Tuve la sensación de estar visitando a unos tíos lejanos que nos mostraban “sus juguetes astronómicos” para que todos, grandes y pequeños, pudiéramos descubrir el cosmos juntos! Una experiencia única, fuera de lo turístico y masificado. Una experiencia mágica de la que nos acordaremos toda la vida. Gracias de todo corazón estimados Stephan y Flavia
