Resumen del artículo: Bajo las Estrellas que narra sobre el Turismo de las Estrellas o el Turismo Astronómico.

Menorca - the Tears of Sant Lorenzo or Perseidas

The tears of San Lorenzo or Perseidas are one of the most popular night shows in Menorca during the summer.

They are known as the San Lorenzo rain because it coincides with august 10th. Meteors can be traced back to the constellation Of Perseus, from which they get their name.

The Astronomical Experience here can be experienced from a viewpoint located in the village of Torralba d'en Salort: Torralba den Salford is a prehistoric village of talayotic period located on the island of Menorca in the municipality of Alayor. Chronologically it is set between 1300 BC.C. and Roman times and lasted until the Middle Ages (Source: Expedia)

Torralba d'en Salort is, together with Torre d'en Galmés, the best example of the Talayotic Culture of Menorca. It is estimated that about 500 people lived in the village.

From here we will see the fascinating astronomy in a unique space and he will tell us about the constellations that can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere in the summer season. And in addition, mythological legends that give rise to their names will be told.

The Tears of San Lorenzo can be observed during the 13th, 17th and 18th of August (Would you like to plan the visit? Contact me, I will gladly accompany you in the preparation of the trip).

My recommended places for observing the rain of stars would be Monte Toro or Punta Nation on August 14 and 15.
