During this night hike from Triana de Velez

---

We cross mango fields and enjoy the sunset.

---

On the way to the hike, at night, we will stop at a place lost in the mountains that is absolutely unusual in Andalusia: a Buddhist temple.

It is the oldest Buddhist Kalachakra temple that has been built in the whole of the West!

---

---

Then, we will continue the hike, up to the Atalaya tower (a lookout tower from the Al-Andalus period) which will be the highlight of the hike.

---

---

NB: of course, at night, these two places take on a whole new dimension!

---

At this point, and accompanied by a professional photographer, Carlos Castro, who takes incredible photographs of our galaxy (see: son compte professionnel instagram, we will all attend an astrotourism session and observe the rain of shooting stars, called the Perseids.
