About the Perseids
The Perseids, popularly known as the «Tears of St. Lawrence», reach their peak in mid-August, when the Earth crosses the debris of comet Swift-Tuttle. It is one of the most popular and visible meteor showers of the northern hemisphere.
From La Vall, one of the darkest areas of Menorca and a Starlight Reserve, you can enjoy the spectacle in optimal darkness, accompanied by specialised guides who will help you identify shooting stars, constellations and the Milky Way.
