Additional group tripsDuring the following three days there is an organized trip to visit two important observatories located in the Pyrenees: Montsec Observatory managed by a consortium of different Catalan research centres, and the Pic du Midi Observatoire, managed by the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (France).
We are also hoping to offer some other activities in Barcelona and surroundings for people who do not wish to take the trip to the Pyrenees.
